History:

Created for Bacardí Legacy 2017 by Darren Miley at Ostro, Auckland, New Zealand.

Darren makes his own grenadine with: 500 ml pomegranate juice, 500 ml sugar syrup, zest of 1 lemon, 1 lime & 1 orange, 5 ml orange blossom water

Darren says, "A salute is a gesture of respect or polite recognition, especially one made to or by a person when arriving or departing. Every day, everywhere on this planet, there are people whose amazing achievements go unnoticed. This cocktail is my tribute to them all, so they, in turn, can raise a glass in salute of those in their world who deserve celebration."

Perfect aperitif. The mixtures of all the ingredients bring out wonderful flavours. We even got a light hint of coconut. Somewhat fruity and tropical with a distinct taste. Balance is great.
