Notes
As a junior bartender, all I ever wanted to do was drink complex cocktails and develop my palate to genuinely enjoy all the weird things “cool” bartenders were creating. As I get older and care less about what other people think, I’ve returned to drinking the flavours that make me happy and remind me of my early adulthood.
I used to love the simplicity of premixed drinks and plain old beers.
So, when I was asked to create a cocktail with Untold Spiced Rum, I wanted to make a drink that brings the technique, theory and understanding of being a sophisticated bartender and matching it to those ingredients I’d pretended weren’t cool for so long. It’s a homage to nostalgic flavours and being unafraid to be yourself.
Passionfruit sodas have always been an epic thirst quencher of mine – and if you’re lucky, the Rotarians putting on the sausage sizzle at your local hardware store will decide to offer it as a drink option. This to me is a truly unique beverage flavour synonymous with Australia.
When passionfruit is in season, there is nothing better than pairing them with Untold Spiced Rum and cold fresh soda – tweaking in a few more flavours for good measure.
So, with all this, I came up with UNRELENTING PASSION.
