Espiritu Diablo
This is served at the Yacht Club’s Isa bar on the island of Ratua, Vanuatu. Yacht Club being rather a misnomer as the “fleet” pretty much consists of a few outrigger canoes. Sadly, I’ve never been there, but sipping this potion I can imagine myself on a warm evening watching the sky turn vivid shades of purple and orange as the sun dissolves over the horizon. Some day.
