Comment:

A pleasing and interesting combination of flavours, but slightly on the sweet side and for some drinkers (us) lacks oomph.

About:

Created for Bacardí Legacy 2017 by Kentaro Satoh at Bar Day Cocktail, Yokohama, Japan.

Inspiration: “The Cuban port city Mariel is gaining attention globally for its growing international trade. This has only increased in the light of the improving diplomatic relations with America; Mariel is now going to be Cuba’s window to the rest of the world. More than 200 years ago, Japan also went through a similar transformation. In 1859, Yokohama was the first port city to start trading with other countries. My legacy cocktail ‘Mariel,’ made with Bacardí Gran Reserva 8 Años rum, aims to bridge these two cultures and create a new port city cocktail.”
