Fruit de l'empereur
Combination of my favourite's drinks at the bar

Death in Paradise
Used Tarquins gin, so suggest a cirtrus forward gin as the base.
Napoleon's Folly
I've used Mandarine Napoleon for years to make soufflés and recently tried a variation of a chocolate soufflé with a Mandarine Napoleon creme anglaise.
