This seminar explores ingredients that are used in tropical cocktails, including non-rum spirits, current trends in flavors and regional ingredients, such as Amaro. Adam Rains and Nick Brink provide examples of the flavors and ingredients being used today and give audiences a peek into what’s ahead for tropical cocktails.
