History:

Italian Bacardí Legacy 2015 winning cocktail by Federico Tomasselli, Barnum, Rome.

I have always been inspired by the term 'less is more,' both in the course of my life, and in my drinks: simplicity is the path I prefer to follow.

"For my 'Legacy' cocktail, I decided to use just a few simple ingredients, leaving space for the BACARDÍ Carta Blanca to come through in a different way.

Federico Tomasselli, 2015

Indeed, made this with Carta Blanca and was expecting this to be more Frangelica forward. Pleasantly suprised by the subtle balance between the absinthe, woody filbert, and as Simon has described, Bacardi's characteristic blue cheese flavor. Not having any fresh or ground allspice, I wetted the rim with wonderfully aromatic pimento dram liqueur. ☆☆☆☆♡+
