The Splashing Biker

This cocktail was created for my SecretSante event organized by dear friend Matthias @servedbysoberon. He organizes this event, every year where you can choose to make a drink for a cocktail loving stranger from across the world. This year our friendly elf asked to make a drink for Jules Verlinden @capjules , who is a WSET level 3 Belgian mixologist and believes that “Life is too short for bad cocktails and bad wine”.He is also the man behind @martiniracingciclismo , a bartender cycling community which supports and promotes community, a healthy lifestyle and improved well-being in the hospitality industry.

Looking through his page, he loves his amari and is one of the 12 finalists of the The Vero bartender competition in 2019. He is also a biker, so to pay a tribute to the bicyclist in him a riff on the Bicicletta the cocktail was created.

Paired With

The drink was paired with a 73% dark craft chocolate bar ,made with cacao from Vale Potumuju in Brazil by Baiani Chocolates with orange zest. The taste of cacao with sparkles of orange and as it melts in your mouth, pairs extremely well with the refreshing cocktail.
