A full-flavoured, tangy Daiquiri with faint clove spice.

Created at the eponymous club, established in Bermuda in 1844 and largely frequented by British Army Officers. Royal Bermuda Yacht Club cocktail first appears in Crosby Gaige's 1941 Cocktail Guide & Ladies' Companion as the favourite cocktail of Mary Mabon, then a writer for Harper's Bazaar fashion magazine.

Mary Mabon This lady, and make no mistake about it, she is, might have assumed any one of many rôles in life. She might have been Ethel Barrymore in Captain Jinks or Maude Adams in Peter Pan or Galen or George Sand or almost anyone except Fanny Farmer. She writes for Harper's Bazaar in aureate phrases with a golden pen, and I hope her publisher pays her accordingly. Mrs. Mabon first met up with her favourite concoction at the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club, Hamilton, Bermuda. It is currently considered one of the best rum drinks on the island. Royal Bermuda Yacht Club Cocktail 3 parts Barbados Rum 1 part Lime Juice ½ part Falernum of Sugar Syrup Dash of Cointreau or Brandy Shake with plenty of ice and strain into cocktail glass. With such a drink the plantanitos fritos (fried banana chips) and the Taro chips that are new on the market are appetizing. Serve with these very small, not stuffed, green aniseed olives on a bed of crushed ice with the juice of half a lime squeezed over them. Crosby Gaige, Cocktail Guide & Ladies' Companion, 1941

Royal Bermuda Yacht Club Cocktail Recipe

Let's start the weekend right--with a cocktail recipe from Paul Clarke ( The Cocktail Chronicles ). Need more than one? That kinda week, eh? Here you go. Cheers!

Before there was tiki, there was tropical. Back in the 1930s and early '40s, as Don the Beachcomber was spawning what was to become a wave of openings of Polynesian palaces, bartenders and restaurateurs were filling up their liquor shelves with rum and experimenting with new concoctions.

One of the earliest to be influenced by the Beachcomber was Victor Bergeron, who saw what Donn Beach had started in L.A. and took the idea home to Oakland, revamping his old Hinky Dinks watering hole and renaming it Trader Vic's . In 1947, Bergeron published Trader Vic's Bartender's Guide , an extensive recipe guide detailing hundreds of drinks, including many proto-tiki mixes that reflected the experimentation that had been going on in earlier years.

The Royal Bermuda Yacht Club Cocktail has a few of the tropical essentials: first, it's based on rum; second, its flavor is fleshed out with fresh lime juice and the little-known syrup called falernum ; and third, the name has both Caribbean and nautical overtones. It's a few steps short of a full-blown Nui Nui, Sumatra Kula or Pearl Diver's Punch, but there's no shame in that. On a warm spring day, when the mood for something bright and tropical hits you but you're not quite up for breaking into full luau mode, the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club Cocktail fits the bill quite nicely.

Recipe Details

Ingredients

2 ounces  Barbados rum (Mount Gay and Cockspur are common, and good, brands)

3/4 ounce fresh lime juice

2 dashes Cointreau

2 teaspoons falernum *

Add ingredients to a cocktail shaker and fill with ice. Shake well for 10 seconds, strain into chilled cocktail glass.

Falernum can be hard to find, but it’s not impossible. Velvet Falernum is a lightly alcoholic version sold in liquor stores, while Fee Brothers makes a non-alcoholic falernum that can be found in some liquor stores and specialty food stores. If you’re still stumped, or just looking for that homemade touch, it’s quite easy to make your own .

A Trader Vic original, the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club is Vic’s tiki-fied version of the Daiquiri . Instead of one-dimensional simple syrup, Vic substituted orange curaçao and spiced falernum to intensify the tropical flavors and presumably translate the feeling of a Caribbean port-of-call.

What is the origin of the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club cocktail?

The Royal Bermuda Yacht Club cocktail is a classic cocktail that pays homage to the prestigious yacht club founded in Bermuda in 1844. The cocktail's creation is credited to Trader Vic's 1947 Bartender’s Guide, reflecting the tropical and British influences prevalent in Bermuda's culture.

Can I substitute another type of rum if I don't have white rum?

Yes, substitutions can be made, although they will slightly alter the flavor profile. A light-aged rum or a different clear rum can be used as a substitute. Darker rums can also be used but expect a richer, slightly more complex taste.

Is this cocktail suitable for someone who prefers sweet drinks?

The Royal Bermuda Yacht Club cocktail offers a balanced flavor with a slight sweetness from the falernum and orange liqueur, complemented by the tartness of the lime juice. If you have a sweet tooth, you might find it enjoyable, but it's not overly sweet.

How should I serve the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club cocktail?

This cocktail should be served cold, ideally shaken with ice and then strained into a cocktail glass. You can garnish it with a lime wheel or twist to enhance its presentation and add a bit of citrus aroma.

What is falernum, and is there a substitute if I don't have it?

Falernum is a sweet syrup used in Caribbean and tropical drinks, combining flavors of ginger, lime, almond, and sometimes cloves or allspice. If you don't have falernum, you can make a simple substitute with a mix of simple syrup, almond extract, and lime zest, although the flavor won't be exactly the same.

The Royal Bermuda Cocktail is a classic cocktail that originated in the 1940s at the Swizzle Inn, Bermuda's oldest pub. This cocktail is a favorite among locals and tourists alike, and is often enjoyed while watching the sunset over the island's beautiful beaches.

• The cocktail was created by bartender Joe Gilmore, who was inspired by the island's vibrant culture and tropical flavors.
• The Royal Bermuda Cocktail quickly gained popularity and became a staple at other bars throughout the island.
• The cocktail is often associated with relaxation, vacation, and the laid-back atmosphere of Bermuda.

How Royal Bermuda Tastes?

The Royal Bermuda Cocktail is a well-balanced, refreshing, and slightly sweet drink with a hint of tartness. The combination of rum, lime, and falernum creates a smooth and tropical flavor profile, while the bitters add a touch of complexity.

Interesting facts about Royal Bermuda

• The Royal Bermuda Cocktail is sometimes referred to as the 'Bermuda Rum Swizzle'.
• The Swizzle Inn, where the cocktail was created, is known for its motto: 'Swizzle Inn, Swagger Out'.
• The cocktail is traditionally served in a tall glass with crushed ice, making it perfect for sipping on a hot day.

Ingredients

• Dark rum : 2 oz(60ml)
• Lime juice : 0.75 oz(23ml)
• Falernum : 0.5 oz(15ml)
• Angostura bitters : 2 dashes
• Crushed ice : 1 cup
• Garnish : 1 sprig of mint
• 1 lime wheel :

Provides the base spirit and a rich, molasses-like sweetness. The 2 oz measurement gives a perfect balance without overwhelming the drink. Without it, you'd lack depth and the 'royal' presence. Navy rum could be a bolder alternative, giving a more robust flavor.

Offers a fresh tanginess and acidity that brightens the drink. Too much, and it's overly sour; too little, you'd miss the sharp contrast to the rum's sweetness. If limes aren’t handy, try lemon juice , although it’s a bit zippier, it's a fair stand-in.

Adds a hint of spiciness, ginger, and sometimes almond notes. It ties the rum and lime together. Leaving it out or changing proportions would significantly alter the drink's flavor profile. Ginger liqueur could be an alternative for a spicier kick.

Mary Mitkina

Angostura bitters.

Brings in complex spiciness and helps balance the sweetness. The 2 dashes are just enough to add depth without overpowering the other flavors. Without it, the cocktail might taste flat. No Angostura at home? Try orange bitters for a subtle change.

Crushed Ice

Dilutes and chills the drink, making it refreshing. Not using enough can make the drink too strong, while too much can over-dilute it. Stick with crushed to get that slushy, cool texture.

Garnish (Mint and Lime Wheel)

These add visual appeal and a bit of aromatics to the nose, making your first sip a multi-sensory experience. Leaving them out won't ruin the drink, but you'll miss that Instagram-worthy pop and fresh scent as you sip!

Recipe. How to make Royal Bermuda Drink

• Fill a tall glass with crushed ice.
• In a cocktail shaker, combine the dark rum, lime juice, and falernum.
• Add the Angostura bitters to the shaker.
• Shake well to combine the ingredients.
• Strain the mixture over the crushed ice in the glass.
• Garnish with a sprig of mint and a lime wheel.
• Use fresh lime juice for a more vibrant flavor.
• Shake the cocktail shaker vigorously to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
• Chill the glass before serving to keep the cocktail cold for longer.

Perfect Pairings

Grilled shrimp or calamari pair wonderfully with the tangy notes of lime and spice from Angostura bitters.

Spicy Dishes

Caribbean jerk chicken complements the sweet and spicy balance of the Royal Bermuda cocktail.

A fruit tart or key lime pie can complement the citrus notes in the cocktail and the richness of the dark rum.

And of course - twists🍹

Royal bermuda yacht.

Change up the base by using Aged Navy rum to add a smokier, more complex taste to the drink. This twist is perfect for those who enjoy a heftier punch in their cocktail, as it sails away from the smooth shores of traditional dark rum.

Spiced Bermuda

Add a slice of ginger along with the lime juice before shaking, introducing an extra spicy zing. It's like a mini vacation to the spice markets in the comfort of your own home bar.

Tropical Bermuda

Swap out falernum for coconut liqueur to create a more tropical feel. The coconut's sweetness complements the dark rum beautifully, taking you straight to the Bermuda beaches with every sip.

In case you forgot basics how to make Royal Bermuda

How to shake a drink.

Add your ingredients to the shaker first, then ice. Fill it up to ¾ of its capacity to ensure enough space for shaking. Hold the shaker with both hands (one on the top and one on the bottom) and shake vigorously. The shake should come from your shoulders, not your wrists.

How to Strain a Drink?

Place your chosen strainer on top of the shaker or mixing glass, ensuring a secure fit. Pour the cocktail into a glass through the strainer, which will catch solid ingredients and ice. If double straining, hold the fine mesh strainer between the shaker and the glass.

How to Garnish?

Garnishing a bar drink depends on the type of garnish and the cocktail. Generally, it involves preparing the garnish (like cutting a citrus wheel or picking a sprig of mint), and then adding it to the drink in a visually appealing way (like perching it on the rim or floating it on top).

Royal Bermuda Yacht Club Cocktail Recipe – Delightful

Royal bermuda yacht club cocktail, a drink to impress the admiral.

The Royal Bermuda Yacht Club Cocktail is a variation on a daiquiri. It is made with Barbados Rum, Lime Juice, Falernum . As a more complex and spiced take on the daiquiri it is paradise in a tropical drink.

It is easy to imagine sitting on deck watching the sunset on the horizon while sipping one of these.

• Skip to the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club Cocktail Recipe

Ingredients

The Royal Bermuda Yacht Club was established in 1844. That makes it one of the world’s oldest yacht clubs to hold a Royal warrant. The drink that bears the club’s name may have been sipped by sugar planters and retired British Naval officers on the decks of their fantail yachts. Maybe not. There doesn’t seem to be any definitive history. We do know it was made popular by Trader Vic’s as an early variation on the daiquiri.

The drink substitutes the more complex Falernum for simple syrup. It also add Cointreau to the mix. This drink is more restrained than the baroque tiki drinks that Trader Vic’s later became known for. Drink it on the deck of your yacht while wearing a bikini and heels, or a white dinner jacket. Listen to yacht rock. Enjoy.    

How to Make a Royal Bermuda Yacht Club Cocktail

• Style of Cocktail – Daisy
• Base Spirit – Rum
• Modifier – Cointreau
• Sweetener – Falernum

Flavor Description

The Royal Bermuda Yacht Club cocktail is a tart lime and spice variation on a Daiquiri. Falernum brings allspice, clove and ginger notes to the cocktail.

The Royal Bermuda Yacht Club Cocktail hits the high notes of tropical ingredients. Obviously, rum. Then it has the combination of fresh lime juice and falernum. It is not a full blown tiki extravaganza like the Pearl Diver’s Punch. If you’re looking for something restrained yet nautical to impress the club’s Admiral at the annual sail past, this will do the job.

• Rum – Barbados rum is the classic choice here. Mount Gay is a popular choice with sailors. It has a long history sponsoring regattas and sailing events. Try it with Mount Gay Extra Old. It is an excellent rum. Cockspur is the other widely available Barbados rum. It is also an excellent choice.
• Falernum – Falernum is the essential ingredient in a number of tiki drinks. Once a closely guarded secret, it has become a mainstay ingredient for many bartenders. The best falernum is the one you make yourself .

Royal Bermuda Yacht Club Cocktail Recipe

• 2 oz. aged Barbados rum
• 1 oz. fresh lime juice
• 1/2 oz. Cointreau
• 1/2 oz. falernum
• grated nutmeg for garnish
• Pour all ingredients into a shaker filled with ice.
• Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds.
• Fine strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe glass.
• Grate fresh nutmeg over drink to garnish.

Falernum is a spiced almond and lime syrup. There are commercial versions available, but they can be difficult to find. Making your own does take a few days to make. It is totally worth it.
