Flavour profile

History

Sparkling wine adds biscuity complexity, crispness, and enlivening effervescence to a brilliant combination of rum, lemon, and bitter liqueur with basil.

This adaptation stems from a recipe by Arash Ghassemi at Green Door & Schwarze Traube, Berlin, originally prepared with Bacardi Carta Blanca rum. It was the winning cocktail for the German Bacardí Legacy competition in 2016.
