History:

Adapted from a recipe created by Jimmy Cassar at Buddha Bar in Lyon, France. L'Aristocrate was the French Bacardí Legacy 2018 winning cocktail and Jimmy's original recipe calls for Bacardi Carta Oro Rum.

To me, rum and champagne both represent celebration. In my cocktail, I mix these with truffle salt to represent my city, Lyon, and vanilla to represent my roots in Madagascar. This cocktail is a tribute to my family, who, in 1960, travelled to Europe looking for a better future.

Jimmy Cassar, 2018
