History

UAE Bacardí Legacy 2016 winning cocktail by Laura Marnich, Zuma Dubai, Dubai.

Patriota cocktail embraces history, lifestyle, family heritage, flavours and traditions: A nicely sweet Cafecito Cubano - a much loved Cuban beverage - is mixed with Bacardí Carta Blanca, smoothed with hint of chocolate cream liqueur and combined with fresh bites of mint from Fernet Branca Menta. The mint plays a representative role in this drink; it aims to recall the importance of the Mojito cocktail. The Patriota cocktail was born from a combination of flavours that are characteristic on the Island of Cuba and is a tribute to Emilio Bacardi Moreau, son of Don Facundo Bacardi Masso, the founder of the Bacardi rum distillery in 1862: rum baron by day, freedom fighter by night.

Laura Marnich, 2016


Review

A minty mocha coffee rum espresso. Tasty.

A lot of mint freshness in a cool coffee drink - I like it but I know it isn't for everyone (coffee purists?). I made per the recipe except subbed 10 ml rich syrup for the 2t sugar (per suggestion in the comments). No meaningful chocolate notes (IMO) - but I'd need to try head to head to try to discern for sure. Fresh out of the shaker this has wonderful milk caramel color, that gradually is lost as the bubbles migrate to the surface (see pic on the site) - serve to guests quickly!

Also, i see in the history that they used Fernet Branca Menta, which is a different thing than what is listed in the recipe. However, i can't find Fernet Branca Menta as a ingredient on the site

I've amended the recipe to show and link to Branca Menta (Frenet Branca Menta).

Use 2 x 5ml-sized measuring spoons of powdered white sugar or 10ml of rich (2 sugar : 1 water) sugar syrup.
