Tour Le Carbet

Written By Jan Rishoi

Tour Le Carbet - This treat is attributed to Shannon Mustipher’s “Tiki - Modern Tropical Cocktails” book. A take on the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club cocktail, it was inspired by the black sand beaches of Martinique and the views of Mount Pelée. The balance of this cocktail is a high-wire act of very complex flavors. Take the funky, grassy St. James Rhum Agricole Blanc 100; it provides the aromatic base for everything else that follows. The bitter/citrus element is Suze; a French Gentian liqueur, replaces the Orange Curacao. and the John D. Taylor Velvet Falernum is the soft, herbal kiss at the end. Try this on the hottest of days! Enjoy!

In a shaker of ice add:

  • 2 oz St. James Rhum Agricole Blanc

  • .5 oz Suze

  • .75 oz John D. Taylor Velvet Falernum

  • .75 oz Fresh Lime Juice

    Strain into your favorite coupe, garnish with lime wheel. Enjoy!
