THE CREATOR SAYS

Alma cocktail bar seamlessly translates Alma's philosophy into cocktails (and mocktails). Many ingredients are prepared on-site using both traditional and modern techniques, with a focus on seasonal, natural ingredients and foraging. With that in mind I created a twist on this super fresh classic with bird cherry blossom which has a vanilla and hay notes. We don't have all year sunshine as Cuba does and as we are off-season, I used pickled water from the fruit pickles we made during the previous summer. The cocktail is fruity and fresh, an ideal pick me up cocktail for any occasion.
