Elusive Dreams

A riff on the classic Hotel Nacional Special cocktail with rum-laced, sweet 'n' sour, tropical fruit and delicate cinnamon spice

I didn't have pineapple rum so used coconut rum (Kalani) instead which gave it a Pina Colada vibe. Very nice.

I also tried the original recipe with 22.5 ml cinnamon syrup. Liked it since my palette is on sweet side.

A definite improvement for me over the classic Hotel Nacional Special - the added depth of the cinnamon syrup and banana liqueur elevates the drink.

Very nice with probitas rum. I think it would be best with a pineapple gomme syrup, which would enhance the mouthfeel obtained from the pineapple.

Ooh, that’s a lot of flavours! Pineapple overtones with lingering banana and cinnamon flavours. Sweet but really enjoyable.
