To a tiki lover, Trader Vic is a name that does not need further introduction. Once you find a cocktail by the famous Mai Tai creator it immediately peaks one’s interest. Royal Bermuda Yacht Club is certainly worth association with Trader Vic - rum laden, refreshing and full of tropical flavours, one could not ask for more.

Base of the cocktail is aged Demerara rum with notes of molasses, vanilla and tropical spices. Velvet Falernum expands cocktail complexity with tropical spice flavours and lime fragrance. A touch of orange Curacao introduces sweet orange notes underlined by the oaky cognac base. Finally, a healthy addition of lime juice balances the cocktail and gives it a lively tart kick, letting the drink truly shine.

All in all, Ryal Bermuda Yacht Club is a perfect rum/tiki drink. It has all the staples, minus the extra-long ingredient list, making it a true home bartenders’ friend.
