History

The Belarus Bacardí Legacy 2019 winning cocktail, created by Sergey Zlatodrev at Make-make Tiki King in Minsk.

The scientific quest to develop something new has revolutionised our world throughout history. The Bacardí family became revolutionaries in the production of rum by using new techniques – which saw their rum travel the world with the energy of tiny particles of light. These particles were bartenders, cocktails and the people who drink and serve Bacardí rum. Photon is one of the Bacardí elementary particles of light, a mix of traditions and modern, bright experiments.

I used my homemade lime cordial and this was suprisingly good. I would definitely make it again.

Interesting drink. It's like limey gimlet with a hint of chocolate. Unfortunately, because it's a Bacardi drink, it was much less interesting than I thought.

Genever adds its own complexity to this version of the classic Holland House. The sugar syrup is my 'optional' addition, but for me it's essential.

While gin might lead this Negroni, port wine rounds and sets it apart from less noble Negronis.
