In a series of unfortunate events, it appears most of us have forgotten how to act like normal people in social situations.
What are you supposed to talk about with your mates? How many drinks should you have before you head out? How do you tell someone their pre-drink music sucks without going straight for the jugular?
It might take some time for all of us to remember how we behaved prior to this year, so we’re here to ease you into it all. No one wants to write themselves off before they even get to a bar, especially when it’s as fancy as a joint like The Lobo, so we’ve found a few cocktail recipes that taste like liquid gold.
Fetch the ingredients you need and start making rounds of these rum-based revelations.
1. Oh Mai Tai by Daniel Hilton
- 45ml Bacardi Spiced
- 15ml Pisco
- 30ml Lemon Juice
- 30ml Cammomile Pineapple orgeat
This creation by The Lobo’s Assistant Bar Manager Daniel Hilton is the highest-selling cocktail at The Lobo during the Bacardi Spiced activation, so you know it’s gotta be balls-to-the-wall good. You can watch a tutorial of The Lobo’s Bar Manager Chloe Rose Natterer making it above.
2. Millionaire #1
- 20ml Bacardi Spiced
- 20ml Bombay Bramble
- 20ml De Kuyper Apricot Brandy
- 20ml Lime Juice
- 5ml Grenadine
Shake and double strain into a coupette, or, failing a fancy glass, a normal glass. Don’t you dare put a garnish on it.
3. Jungle Bird
- 45ml Bacardi Spiced
- 15ml Martini Bitter
- 30ml Lime Juice
- 20ml Pineapple Juice
Shake and strain into another fancy glass with cubed ice. Optional garnishes include pineapple, maraschino cherries and/or an orange wedge.
4. La Floradita
- 60ml Bacardi Spiced
- 30ml Lime Juice
- 10ml Maraschino Liqueur
Chuck a maraschino cherry at the bottom of your glass before you shake and double-strain the cocktail.
We’ve even gone a step further to avoid this music conundrum by sussing out a Spotify playlist for you. How’s that for service?
