Flor De Caña 25 Years

A dark, elegant amber hue paves the way for an enchanting aroma of vanilla, wood, and dark cocoa. Sticky-sweet and cut by fruity, nutty, and caramel notes, this buttery-finished rum won 2017 Best Rum of the Year at the International Rum Conference in Madrid. Its dark amber color adding a touch of elegance, this aged icon proves to be the multi-award-winning jewel of the trade.

Aperitif

Santé! The apéritif is back. Forget the crass cocktail – the chic apéritif is the choice of the discerning drinker. From the Latin aperire (‘to open’), an apéritif not only kick-starts the palate but is the most delightful way to begin an evening. More and more people are falling for the charms of this light, refreshing, and aromatic way of drinking, and bars dedicated to apéritifs are opening around the world. 

Characterized by their dryness, freshness, and bitter flavors, many apéritifs are also low in alcohol, making them a perfect choice for health-conscious barflies. In Apéritif, acclaimed drinks writer Kate Hawkings romps through the history of how these drinks came into being across the great drinking nations of Europe and beyond. And after a look at the science of why these drinks work so well as appetizers, she peruses anything and everything that can be considered as an apéritif: what it is, what to look for, and how best to drink it. From amaro to gin, through spritzes to Campari and Lillet, and with suggested recipes or serving suggestions for each kind of booze, Apéritif encourages you to sit back, sip, and anticipate the pleasures that the evening holds.
