Carioca

Carioca

The Carioca is a rich, creamy rum-coffee flip with an unclear history. We found this version on the Cocktail Virgin blog, as served at Boston’s Green Street – with the caveat that the only published version of the recipe called for brandy, rather than rum.

Brandy doesn’t make much sense to us, since by the name the drink would seem to have come from the Carioca company, a Puerto Rican rum distillery. Regardless, it is much better with rum. Green Street uses an especially rich, spicy rum (Zaya 12 Year Gran Reserve).

Terrific Design!

Absolutely love this app. Gives a great visual representation of the ingredients and the user interface is well designed. Been using it to learn how to make cocktails, the descriptions are great about the drinks. As a novice barman, I love that I am learning the origin of the drink and alternative ways to make the drink. Be prepared to have a wide range of alcohol at you disposal! I can make heaps of drinks with the decent home collection I have, but seeing all the recipes what I could make gets me excited! Highly recommended, everyone loves the person who makes excellent drinks!
