When you think of lamingtons, chocolate and coconut come to mind. This cocktail evokes exactly that, but with a toasty coconut aroma on the nose, dark chocolate coming through and a nice creamy silky finish. The addition of the Puss & Mew Navy Strength gin gives this a bit of punch but also complements the sweetness of the drink, as the gin itself has a subtle sweetness to it.
Let the cocktail sit for a bit and you'll get more of the gin botanicals coming through.
