A cool example? Cringe Cocktails, so called by the British Times newspaper the great classics of the era are making a fantastic comeback. Caribbean, fresh and inviting, among them they feature the unmissable Daiquiri, the Mojito version with no mint but with rum and lime, and the Martini, a classic and iconic cocktail traditionally made with gin and dry vermouth.
