Under the Sea

Description

Under the Sea works best when it is treated as more than a list of ingredients. The bubbles are not just there for decoration: they lift the aroma, stretch the sweetness and make Coconut Rum, Blue Curaçao and Lemonade feel lighter in the mouth. That is why the drink lands so well as an aperitif, a brunch serve or a first drink before food.

Keep the build cold and avoid over-stirring after the fizz goes in, because the sparkle is part of the flavour.
