Pineapple and rum are a combination made in heaven, it worked in countless cocktails and is often the base flavour combo for tiki drinks. Elusive Dreams explores this flavour pairing by riffing off the well-known Hotel Nacional Cocktail and turning it into a one-of-a-kind tropical libation.

True to a tiki fashion the cocktail base is split between lightly aged blended rum bringing light notes of honey, molasses, tropical fruit and pineapple rum expanding the gamma with distinct pineapple and oak flavours. Addition of pineapple juice reinforces the fruitiness which is then further expanded by adding banana liqueur to the mix. A touch of cinnamon syrup gives the drink a distinct tropical spice element, while fresh lime juices, balances the sweetness with that sharp tart juicy kick.

Elusive Dreams is a remarkably delicious drink, that will put a smile on your face no matter what. Light, tasty, bright and fruity – a true tropical cocktail.
