One of the most delicious cocktails I've ever tasted. My booze: Appleton Signature, Dubonnet, Pierre Ferrand and Campari.

I'm not very familiar with Dubonnet but this was a good recipe for trying it. The rum stands up to the sweetness of the Dubonnet I think.

Did not try this cocktail (don't have the ingredients for it). Nevertheless, this cocktail is not all that much of a big secret. Looking at the following video of the head bartender of the time making it, the rum does not look all that well aged. Perhaps a Havana Club 3 or Havana Club Especial may fit the bill just a bit more.

Thanks, Chris. I've added the video you found to the page above. The recipe now served has dramatically changed since the days of this video. Boadas has always been a great bar but now it also has great cocktails!

Having never tried the original, found it very flavourful. Did find it a bit sweet for our tastes and we added 4 drops of Peychaud bitters which added a little more spice flavours and lessened the sweetness.

Gotta love Boadas and those tiny Martini glasses they fill right to the top.

Well it was good but not great. Needed some pop or sparkle.
