The Mandeville cocktail tastes a little like a cherry cola with a faint black licorice note in the background. The anisette blends in so well it’s hard to identify.
This drink is a flavorful mix with hints of cherry cola and a subtle black licorice note from the anisette. It strikes a good balance between simple and complex, offering an intriguing taste without being overpowering.
This cocktail is a great choice for rum lovers. Think of it as a much-upgraded Rum and Coke, because to that it adds anisette, lemon juice and grenadine.
This is one of those recipes that was almost very simple and sweet, but has some notes that make it more interesting without making it an acquired taste or anything that’s hard to wrap the taste buds around.
