This modern cocktail captures the majesty of tropical flowers. We infused 7 year Flor de Caña rum with our Black Metallic tea with violet and elderberry notes. The violet intensifies the natural floral notes of banana liqueur. A dose of sherry adds a delicate saline note. This extravagant drink is guaranteed to impress your guests.
