I made the Pandan syrup especially for these 2 drinks tonight. The aroma of Pandan is quite intoxicating to the senses, with smells of vanilla, but at the same time, had a nutty smell, similar to Basmati Rice.

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….
