Description

Yaounde Spice Flip takes its cue from Yaoundé, using Dark rum, Plantain syrup, Spice liqueur, whole egg. Serve well chilled to create a cocktail with a specific cultural mood rather than a vague flavour idea.

The serve works because it has contrast: a recognisable lead flavour, a balancing citrus or aromatic note, and enough lift to keep the drink clean. It is designed to feel modern, photogenic and easy to understand from the first sip.

Use it as part of a world-cocktail menu, a country-themed party, or a tasting flight where each drink tells a small story about place, colour and occasion.

Ingredients

  • 40 ml Dark rum
  • 20 ml Plantain syrup
  • 10 ml Spice liqueur
  • 1 piece Whole Egg (or vegan foamer)
