History

Adapted from a recipe created in 2017 by Nando Imamura, Hong Kong.

Nando says, "Fernand Moureaux, the genius who believed in creating something different than the casual, versus Nando Imamura, bartender, Brazilian-Japanese and married to a French woman, creating flavours around the world. I created this cocktail using French and Brazilian products to celebrate the birth of my 1st baby. I used Suze infused with Brazilian Coffee beans, Cachaça Leblon aged in French oak for three years, Calvados Cristian Droin VSOP and Angostura Bitters to balance it out."

Namdo's original recipe calls for 30ml Suze infused with Brazilian coffee beans, 20ml Leblon cachaça, 10ml Calvados Cristian Droin VSOP and 2 dashes Angostura Aromatic Bitters.

Complicated. Is Nando Imamuraso still in Hong Kong? I'd like to quiz him about this one.

I used straight Suze instead of a coffee bean infused one (as I don't have time for that kind of shisnee) and I substituted in Pochle for Calvados. This will be in rotation along with White Negronis until I run out of Pochle!
