Plantation Club № 43
Plantation Club № 43
An elegant after-dinner cocktail inspired by the warm atmosphere of the legendary Plantation Club Seychelles. Smooth gold rum is paired with rich amaretto, a delicate touch of coconut and Licor 43, while a small measure of freshly brewed espresso adds subtle roasted notes without overpowering the drink. The result is a remarkably smooth cocktail with gentle sweetness, warm island character and just enough coffee to create depth. Designed to be enjoyed slowly, Plantation Club № 43 captures the feeling of relaxing in an open tropical hotel lounge as another unforgettable evening on Mahé comes to an end.[ Also available on Difford's Guide ]🍸 Yield: ±95 ml🍷 Serves: 1🔥 Calories: 206 kcal🧊 Glass: Chilled Coupe🍷 Alcohol: 19.8% ABV🍽️ Enjoy: After dinner, when coffee alone simply isn't enough.⚠️ Allergens: Nuts** This recipe was developed using Disaronno Originale, which the manufacturer states is nut-allergy free.

Notes
History:
Plantation Club № 43 was created as a modern tribute to the elegant lounge atmosphere once found at the iconic Plantation Club Seychelles. Rather than recreating a historic hotel cocktail, this recipe imagines the kind of signature drink that might have been served in the resort's welcoming lobby lounge—a place where guests gathered after dinner to enjoy conversation, live music and tropical evenings overlooking the gardens of Baie Lazare. The combination of smooth gold rum and Licor 43 reflects the warm hospitality of the islands, while a touch of freshly brewed espresso pays homage to the timeless ritual of ending an evening with both coffee and a fine drink. Its name, № 43, is a subtle reference to Licor 43, one of the cocktail's defining ingredients, while also suggesting the understated elegance of a signature house cocktail from an era when island evenings were measured not by the clock, but by conversation, music and one final drink before the night came to rest.Explore this cocktail
