Although the first known Coctail recipe was published in the mid 1800′ the history of Cockatils are filled with many colourful and amusing stories as well as some conspiracy theories. Its now wonder that the consumption of alcoholic drinks have been around for centuries .
While there are documented use of the word ‘Coctail’ in publications from 1798 and 1803, it was on 13th may 1806 the first known documented definition was published in the New work newspaper ‘The balance’ and ‘Columbian Repository’ by editor Harry Crosswell. Crosswell defined it as

Ingredients Needed:
SERVING Quantity: 1

2. 1 oz. blended unaged rum.(This is the other base spirit. We are choosing Appenton State’s Cold Jamaican Rum. Because of it’s affordable spirits with a note of spices and vanilla)
3. 1 oz. Pineapple juice.(This adds sweet and fruity Pineapple flavour. We used fresh Pineapple juice. But you can also use canned Pineapple juice. If it’s easier for you than juicing an entire Pineapple.)
4. ¾ oz. Lime juice.(This adds the citrus flavour that balances out the other ingredients. Fresh lime juice is preferred because its easier and it tastes way way better than the bottles lime juice)
5. ¾ oz. Cinnamon syrup.(This is a sweetener made with Cinnamon sticks, white sugar, gum arabic powder, saline solution and water. It can be easily made at home or you can also buy it from outside. We made ours at home using Alex’s sous vide recipe)
6. ½ oz. Banana liqueur.(This a liquor that adds banana flavour. We used drillaud banana liquor to make our drinks for its bright and tangy flavour)

1. Pineapple wedges.(This is one of the garnishes. It adds fresh Pineapple aroma and increases flavour)

The Elusive Dreams begin with a aroma of the fruits used to make in our case Banana and Pineapple. It features a great combination of the tastes of Rum, Pineapple and Citrus before
the lingering spice from the Cinnamon and the sweet aftertaste of Banana.
History of Elusive Dreams
The Elusive Dreams is a rum tiki Cocatil that was Invented by a Nashville bartender called Demi Natoli as a riff on the Hotel Nacional.
Natolis drink calls for an unexpected favour of rich Banana liquor with a hint of Cinnamon to the modern tiki.
