Review:
Ripe pineapple, rich vanilla and honey laced with rum. The use of mead in this drink inspired the 'Mediocre' name. Best made with a light white rum infused with a vanilla pod, rather than a commercially produced vanilla-flavoured rum.
History:
Created in 2016 by yours truly at the Cabinet Room, London, England.
