Review:
Reminiscent of an Espresso Martini but with raisiny fruit and distinctive gentiane bitterness. A great after dinner sipper but don't let that stop you enjoying this complex cocktail as an aperitif.
History:
Created for Bacardí Legacy 2017 by Kenny Klein at Maniac Bar, Bad Ischl, Austria
Kenny makes his own vanilla syrup as follows: "Heat 1 part water and add ½ part brown sugar, ½ part white sugar and 2 vanilla pods. Add a pinch of sea salt and slowly cook for 10 minutes, then chill."
Kenny say's, "Through my research into the Bacardí family I discovered that the world-renowned inventor Don Facundo Bacardí and passionate bartenders around the world all have something in common: the curiosity to create something epic and to achieve their own legacy. My drink is inspired by my past Bacardí Legacy compositions and driven by my never-ending curiosity for bartending."
