THE LOVERS DAIQUIRI
60 ml The Lovers Rum
30 ml Fresh Lime Juice
2 tsps Sugar Cane
Glass: Coupe / Champagne Saucer. Place all ingredients into a cocktail shaker. Stir well until the sugar has dissolved. Fill shaker with cubed and crushed ice. Shake enthusiastically until the shaker is frozen. Double strain into a pre-chilled glass. Enjoy.
The Daiquiri is a perfection in a glass. An ‘all-occasion’ cocktail that fits to every situation, from a party to a pre-dinner drink. It is deceptively simple. The art lies in balancing the four taste cornerstones that build a cocktail’s flavour: Strong, sour, sweet & weak.
THE LOVERS NEGRONI
30 ml The Lovers Rum
30 ml Vermouth Rosso (suggestion Mancino, Noilly Pratt Rouge)
30 ml Italian Bitter Liqueur (suggestion Campari)
Garnish: Orange peel
Glass: Old Fashioned / Tumbler. Pour The Lovers Rum into a glass. Add a large piece of ice. Gently stir and Enjoy.
“I think the Negroni is the perfect cocktail because it is three liquors that I don’t particularly like. I don’t like Campari, and I don’t like sweet vermouth and I don’t particularly love gin. But you put them together with that little bit of orange rind in a perfect setting… It’s just: It sets you up for dinner, in a way it makes you hungry, sands the edges off the afternoon. In an after dinner, it’s settling. It is both aperitif and digestive. It’s a rare drink that can do that.” “Anthony Bourdain”
ROYAL BERMUDA YACHT CLUB
50 ml The Lovers Rum
20 ml Velvet Falernum
15 ml Orange Curacao (suggestion Ferrand)
30 ml Fresh Lime Juice
Garnish: Preserved cherry or lime peel
Glass: Coupe / Champagne Saucer. Place all ingredients into a cocktail shaker, add ice. Shake enthusiastically. Double strain and enjoy.
Trader Vic original, the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club is Vic’s tiki-field version of the Daiquiri. Instead of one-dimensional simple syrup, orange curaçao and spiced falernum to intensify the tropical flavours and presumably translate the feeling of a Caribbean port-of-call.

5 ml Kirsch (suggestion Luxardo)
