La Guildive
First cocktail of 2021! Happy New Year, Peeps! I guessed everything but a stone fruit. I thought it was under-garnished, certainly a lot of rum and a nice note of vanilla from the Licor 43. The centered peach and zingy ginger beer by Tiki Master Martin Cate is worth a revisit. From Smuggler’s Cove again….

A Not So Simple, Gin & Tonic
An interesting twist on a classic cocktail that had hints of World Famous Amsterdam Apple Pie. The smokey Gin gives this a nice flavour, and the mix of apples makes this a festive drink…we’re still in December, right? KYRO Gin, from Finland. Finnish rye gin seasoned in oak barrels and fierce weather. That’s what the…
Mundo Perdido
