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.

I dont often pour a drink into the drain. For me the Crème de cacao doesnt go well with the dry vermouth. But maybe I made something wrong. I used Planteray 3 Stars, Noilly Prat, De Kuypers Dutch Cacao and Pechauds bitters

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.
