After making the Le Meilleur cocktail earlier we had pandan leaves in our fridge. We quickly tuned them into a vanilla tasting syrup, and then we stumbled upon the recipe for Nicky Paris, which uses pandan syrup.
It’s a tiki styled drink, but apart from rum there is also akvavit in the mix. As Swedes we appreciate that a little bit extra, and it is nice how good this spiced spirit works in cocktails.
