Mundo Perdido is a rare tiki cocktail featuring apple brandy. Combined with cinnamon and demerara sugar it acquires an almost pie like quality, which for me strongly associates with apple harvest of early autumn.

Base spirit of the cocktail is black blended rum with bold notes of fruity sweetness, molasses, vanilla and other deep spices. Apple brandy brings delicious taste of apple with a hint of aged oak. Healthy dose of lemon juice brings some refreshing tartness to the mix balanced by cinnamon and demerara syrups which reinforces the base flavour of rum and increases the cocktail complexity. All of this combined creates a lovely almost apple pie like fusion absolutely worth tasting.

All in all, Mundo Perdido is a delightful and easily enjoyable tiki cocktail perfectly suited for the transitional times of the year.
