French Philosopher

This drink is best served up to enjoy all the subtle flavors that are playing well together, which you would lose if it was diluted by ice. Also, the

Romántica

Fruity, tangy, perfumed

Mandarinaldi

It needs to be stirred by the customer for a better harmony of flavors

Rise and Fall

The hazelnut liqueur could be replaced by maraschino liqueur or amaretto if allergies so require

Mulini Sunrise

Mandarine, citrus, cucumber and light notes of lavender for a refreshing time. Cucumber syrup can be replaced by cucumber liqueur. Named after Napoleon's

St. Helena Spritz

This is my original creation. Napoleon did not likely have an option of a spritz like this while exiled, but he certainly would have enjoyed one.

Piquant Napoleon Margarita

Prefer to use 2 Habanero Chili slices instead of chili flakes

Elba 1814

The recipe calls for 3 large basil leaves; use 4 or 5 if using smaller leaves.

Corsica's Sunset

The name came from Napoleon's native island Corse also named the Island of Beauty. The color of the cocktail makes me think of a sunset on a Corse's coast.

Dries in the Garden

Still water makes me feel Mandarin flavour more than sparkling. Mizuwari is a popular way to drink alcohol in Japan. It is a refreshing cocktail that can
