Caipirinha

Brazil’s most popular cocktail consists of cachaca, lime and sugar over ice. Easy-to-make, the Caipirinha was initially used with honey as a remedy against the flu! This very intense drink is prized by yacht charterers.

Negroni

Negroni is an Italian cocktail. Its history dates back to the 1920s when Earl Camillo Negroni, a true Americano fanatic, suggested to a bartender in Florence that the sparkling water should be replaced by gin. Negroni is great drink both before and after dinner when served as a digestif. The recipe is quite simple: 1/3 campari, 1/3 sweet vermouth, 1/3 gin.

Mai Tai

Open your paper umbrella and set sail on an ocean of rum with this classic Tiki drink. The Mai Tai consists of good rum, fresh lime juice and orgeat syrup. Its name may sound Polynesian, but Mai Tai is actually a Californian cocktail.
