History:

Swedish Bacardí Legacy 2018 winning cocktail created by Carl Marcus Erlandson at Haymarket in Stockholm, Sweden.

Theobroma is my recipe for friendship; I have always seen Bacardí as a brand that brings people together.

Theobroma is a Latin term originating from the famous Swedish botanist and doctor, Carl von Linné. In one of his travels he came across the cocoa tree and named it 'Theobroma Cocoa,' which means 'food of the gods.' Rum and chocolate – the essence of Theobroma - are two of the great things in life that friends enjoy together.

The float of Peychaud’s bitters looked great and worked really well alongside the rum, vermouth and chocolate. Each ingredient also retained their individual flavours. An enjoyable drink.
