History:

The French Bacardí Legacy 2015 winning cocktail by Franck Dedieu, Redwood, Lyon.

My 'Legacy' cocktail brings together the work of two families - the Bacardí family who came from Catalonia, where Facundo Bacardí was a wine merchant; and my family who come from the region between Montpellier and Marseillan, an area with a strong Latin culture where my family's vineyards have matured over many years and where Don Facundo Bacardí used to sell wine.

"To bring a touch of innovation in the Latin style, I have customised the DNA of the most famous rum cocktail - sometimes called the 'Holy Trinity': rum, lime and sugar. Sugar cane and rum are the Cuban touch of my cocktail; lemon is the specific citrus and wine represents the French vineyard. A green olive and its brine balances the cocktail with its salty touch.

Tried with a blend of Sauv. Blanc and Pedro Ximenez (51% / 49%) and worked just fine. Slightly salty, but in a good way.

This was surprisingly good. I used our local San Diego rum, and next time I think I'll use less simple. Overall, I like it. Will make again.
