Kitchen Konfidence recently posted a wonderful article featuring my cocktail El Comediante. Kitchen Konfidence comes highly recommended. It’s an excellent source of inspiration.

This cocktail is a recipe I created for the Nicaraguan restaurant La Finca y El Mar. I recently went down to their beautiful restaurant and trained their bar staff and created their cocktail menu. El Comediante has been one of their most popular cocktails to date.

8 Notes on El Comediante

  1. I LOVE bell pepper in cocktails! i should def make more and after reading this i get inspired! long ago i made a real nice cocktail with muddled bell pepper. Nice drink and nice post!

  2. Red bell pepper infused rum, interesting. I can’t recall ever seeing that before. Any kind of bell pepper probably works. Does it give it a slight sweetness with the pepper smell? No heat, I assume.

  3. I made this with a “well” rum and it turned out wonderful. Made this cocktail as well, probably one of the most unique cocktails I ever tasted. I got mixed reviews from everyone at work which I figured would happen, but most loved it. It made the drink menu and I can’t wait for the guest to try it. Thank you so much!
