Hotel Nacional Special

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.

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!
