From the Bartender

On the IBA official list, named after the Jamaican folk song. Galliano is the ingredient most people own for exactly one drink (the Harvey Wallbanger); this is the better reason to keep it.

White Rum

Hemingway Special

Bracingly tart and citrus-forward, with the clean sweetness of white rum underpinned by bitter grapefruit, zesty lime, and a whisper of maraschino cherry adding depth and floral complexity. Dry, refreshing, and deceptively strong.

White Rum

Frozen Daiquiri

Frosty and citrus-forward, with tart fresh lime and clean white rum melding into a refreshingly icy sweetness. The finish is crisp and bright, with a smooth slushy texture that coats the palate like a tropical snow cone.

Dark Rum

IBA Tiki

A tropical explosion of sweet pineapple, tangy passion fruit, and bright lime zest, layered over the rich, smoky depth of two dark rums, with subtle nutty warmth from amaretto and Frangelico and a lively bite of fresh ginger on the finish.

White Rum

Frozen Mint Daiquiri

Bright citrus and cool herbal mint lead the way, balanced by gentle sweetness and the clean sugarcane warmth of white rum - all bound together in a silky, icy texture that is deeply refreshing from first sip to last.
