Sometimes a cold refreshing tropical cocktail is exactly what you need, even in the middle of cold and wet winter. This time Boardwalk Flyer was the perfect cocktail to satisfy this craving. Great in winter and, in my mind, amazing on a steaming hot summers day.
Choice of base spirit is rather untraditional - aged cachaça with earthy vegetable notes and a touch of caramel. It is then paired with sweet banana liqueur bringing a touch of fruitiness to the mix. Bridging the gap between these two ingredients and bringing them together are subtle sweet herbal tones of bianco vermouth. (Individual tasting notes of the vermouth blends into the background, but are nonetheless vital for the cocktail as a whole.) Lime juice brings a touch of refreshing tartness to the cocktail while at the same time providing a bit of balance and pairing well with cachaça and banana liqueur. Finally, last touches of mint, nutmeg and bitters add the delightful aromatic element to the cocktail, nicely rounding it off.
Boardwalk Flyer is a tasty swizzle style cocktail full of refreshing flavour. Great choice all year around, especially if you are missing the feeling of sunshine on your face.
