Hotel Nacional Special | Cocktail Party

Hotel Nacional Special

Like so many of our favorite tropical cocktails, the Hotel Nacional Special comes from a recipe unearthed by tiki historian Jeff “Beachbum” Berry.

It’s another one of those missing-link cocktails with ingredients so simple and obvious, it’s a surprise that the Hotel Nacional Special ever fell off the cocktail radar in the first place.

Like many older cocktails, this drink was sized for much smaller glasses than we have today. Stick to a tiny glass, or double up the recipe to ensure it fills your glass nicely.

Cocktail Party is so much better

I've tried so many cocktail apps and uninstalled them all after hours of frustration. Cocktail Party is so much better. Beautiful UI, very intelligent suggestions, easy to follow recipes. A winner 100%.
