This blog is a special project for me and I think that the best way to start it is with a tiki drink created by me, which in turn is also special for me. I don’t have to think too much about it: Bald Bastard Swizzle.
I created this drink to celebrate that I finally found a bottle (were really two) of Lemonhart 151 Demerara, an overproof rum that is very hard to find here in Europe. Also I had wanted to use my new Bois Lelé (a special swizzle stick from Martinique)…and I decided to create a new swizzle recipe.

I put many energies and illusions on my new blog and I hope I could do a good work on it!!!
If you want that I publish some of your recipes on it…it could be a pleasure for me! 😉
We could post some of each others recipes, it makes things come alive a bit more for both of us and our readers! 🙂
We have to talk about it by mail!!! 😉
And oh…where do you get your nice big brandied cherries from? do you make them? i can`t find any brandied cherries here at all. I have brandied some over the years but they did never look that good as those in your pictures.
I bought it!!! Luxardo Marraschino Cherries!!!!
I find it in a liqueur shop here in Barcelona called Magatzem Escolà.
