HOTEL CALIFORNIA
A California twist on the classic ‘Hotel Nacional’, a famous Cuban Cocktail first published in Charles H. Bakers 1939 edition of The Gentleman’s Companion. This concoction was originally made with light white rum, and although Baker later updated the recipe to be made with Gold Rum, we found that Calisco slides perfectly into the mix - this spin has the makings of a brand new modern classic.
