History:
Created by Robb Collins, Group Head Bartender at London Cocktail Club, London, England, who told us he made it for the 2015 Bacardi Legacy UK Finals. "Inspired by a fictional love story of an American soldier who falls in love with a French Cuban girl called 'Mariposa' during WWII."
Review:
This rum-laced cocktail has attractive savoury flavours with a tangy sourness and floral elderflower.
