Among alcoholic drinks, many ladies unconditionally prefer the classic Martini or vermouth. Its sweet, tart taste and subtle herbaceous aroma are ideal for creating a variety of cocktail fantasies.

We offer you another interesting improvisation. Place 3-5 tbsp in a blender bowl. l. crushed ice, add 60 ml of white rum, 15 ml of passion fruit syrup, 30 ml of lime juice and whisk all the ingredients, then pour the cocktail into chilled glasses.
