Created for Bacardí Legacy 2017 by Allen Fang at Barules Cocktail Club in Shanghai, China.
I was born by the sea, growing up next to sand and seawater; I am a descendant of the ocean and we are blessed with the natural resources it brings. I learnt some unforgettable lessons from the ocean that inspired me to go out and embrace the bigger world; that is how my bartending journey began.
Allen Fang, 2017
Out to Sea is a twist on the Espresso Martini and my personal salute to a great heritage spirit. It blends Bacardí Gran Reserva 8 Años rum with saltwater - a strong connection to my hometown - and cold-brew coffee, to create a more complex taste.
Reminiscent of an aged rum-based Espresso Martini (and yes it works when made with freshly brewed espresso coffee rather than cold brew). Fernet Branca and falernum add depth of flavour and their own distinctive personality. A great after-dinner cocktail. The salt influence is subtler than the name might suggest.

Unfortunately the only rum I had on hand was an Appleton Estate that I'm guessing doesn't have enough character to do much for this drink.
Ended up being reminiscent of Boss black coffee but far more subtle, too subtle for me to fully appreciate.
There were a couple of times I caught something nuanced but I could never hold onto it long enough to form any thought.
