Reminiscent of a well-known coconut rum liqueur but very much drier and more complex with lime adding sourness and bitters playing a crucial role.

This is a very unique and flavourful cocktail. Everything works harmoniously together. Prosecco adds another dimention.

Not sure if there is missing instructions, but we did not put in the prosecco before shaking. Poured into the glass topped with prosecco and did a light stir.

Unusually, especially with sparkling wine, this cocktail is thrown from tin to tin - a much gentler form of mixing than shaking. Please type "throw" in the search bar above for our "How to throw a cocktail" page which explains all.
