Building coping mechanisms one cocktail at a time
Tortuga
Originally appearing on Trader Vic’s menu in 1940 as an answer to the Don the Beachcomber Zombie cocktail, it was said to be “served with either crutches or a wheel chair.”
This drink is super polarizing to today’s tiki enthusiasts. The sweet vermouth and crème de cacao combination is unusual for a tiki cocktail and presents a taste profile that’s unusual to say the least.
While I find it reasonably good, the Zombie has nothing to worry about.
