1pt Rum Nous Nous Recipe
1pt Rum Nous Nous
Infused notes of cardamom, cacao, and a whisper of rose, take on an earthy depth that’s perfectly at home alongside the dark espresso and steamed milk in this rum cocktail. There’s nothing flashy here—just bold, unapologetic flavors that linger on the palate, unfolding like the hidden twists and turns of the grand souk. Each sip brings you deeper, a slow drift through smoky coffee, warm spice, and soft floral notes that keep you coming back for more. This is the kind of drink that doesn’t need to prove anything; it’s comfortable in its own skin, inviting you to stay a while and savor a long moment in a quiet corner of the medina.
