History:

South African Bacardí Legacy 2013 winning cocktail created by Nick Koumbarakis of Cape Town, South Africa.

The Tourist is a drink dedicated to the bartenders of today, drawing inspiration from several elements. Firstly, fresh roasted El Salvador coffee beans evoke an aroma, a memory of my father drinking strong black coffee whilst reading the local paper, strong in character, of family value and integrity - likened to that of founder Don Facundo Bacardí Masso. Sweet vermouth, amaretto, cardamom and saffron, ingredients that spark adventure and uncertainty and the hope of something more, something brave - Bacardí Carta Blanca brings these complex ingredients together.
Nick Koumbarakis, 2013

Made in batch for a party, used way less coffee but grinded it very coarse and strain it to discard the fines.

Very nice, one of the few coffee cocktails I tried that tasted of what coffee actually smells.

I chose this as my drink to pair with 'TOCA Touring Cars" in the latest 'Cocktail Mode' podcast and was unconvinced by the results.

After doing some research I've discovered there are A LOT of steps missing from the instructions.

I found the full instructions here: http://media.wix.com/ugd//4ae479_54426439f342be34c166cff4c9fd7f78.pdf

Whoa! Was not expecting that to be so good. Thought it sounded interesting, but wow!... I did use Bacardi Carta Blanca, Punt e Mes, and a cheap amaretto, not to mention black cardamom pods... A fortunate blend... (8 Nov 2023, 10:42a)
