History

This is the signature cocktail at Café Adelaide's Swizzle Stick Bar, New Orleans, USA. There it is made with a liquid poured from a plain bottle marked 'top secret' but, having tried a drop, we're sure it's Falernum.

Review

A slightly pink, dry, spicy long drink with rum and a hint of cloves and lime.

Really enjoyed this cocktail. Used two rums (one a bit overproof and gold) and it had a very nice flavour. Very refreshing.

To be honest i felt it was just a hint of everything, not a great deal of taste of anything, and all the ice seemed to drown it.
