A dutch white lady with mandarine instead of triple sec. Used Mandarine Napoleon and Oude Simon. Add more or less syrup dashes to adjust your preferred

The Luminary

Tastes like a bitter fruit salad: green grapes, grapefruit, banana, pineapple, bell pepper, lemon. Fruity and bitter, without any juice.

Mêl Napoléon

I used Ginger Mead for an extra depth, then garnished with a crystallised ginger cube for an extra kick. A dry gin is preferred; I used The Botanist.

Hot Blooded Mandarita

Inside Job

An improved Mandarin Sour. Embellished with the mandarin liqueur's base of French Cognac and the Italian Campari. These two countries come together to

Orange Vinyl

I started with Mezcal and Tequila as a base since those are my two hard liquors of choice. Then of course, the obligatory addition of freshly squeezed

Piquant Napoleon Margarita
