Jet-off to sunny Antigua and Barbuda, with our newest speciality cocktail, ‘The Lift Off’, inspired by the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority’s ‘Your Space in the Sun’ campaign and created by Antigua and Barbuda award-winning mixologist, Altino Spencer.
Launched in June when the destination re-opened to visitors, the ‘Your Space in the Sun’ campaign invites people to come to Antigua and Barbuda to broaden their horizons and enjoy all the space they need: space to move, space to think, space to be you.
Made with crisp, light flavours, ‘The Lift Off’ conjures up images of Antigua and Barbuda including their 365 beaches, boundless blue waters, secluded harbours, boutique properties, private villas and one-of-a-kind attractions and dining options.
Spencer combines citrus flavours, the famed Antigua Cavalier Rum, a drizzle of blue and fun fruit garnishes to create a drink reminiscent of the turquoise waters surrounding Antigua and Barbuda.
The recipe calls for 0.5 oz simple syrup, 0.5 oz lime juice, 0.5 oz Grand Marnier, 1.5 oz Antigua Cavalier white rum, 0.5 oz Blue Curacao (for drizzling), 1 orange (for garnish) and ice.
