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

Our recipe adapted from Victor Bergeron 's 1972 Trader Vic's Bartender's Guide .

Royal Bermuda Yacht Club Cocktail

• 2 oz Demerara Rum (El Dorado 5-year)
• 1/2 oz Falernum (Maggie's Farm)
• 1/4 oz Orange Curaçao (Pierre Ferrand)
• 1 tsp (5 ml) simple syrup (to taste)
• 3/4 oz fresh squeezed lime juice

Shake with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a lime wheel.

Kathy discovered this delight online at The Educated Barfly . It hails from a large family of sours dating back to the mid 1800s that all feature spirit, orange liqueur and citrus juice. The Royal Bermuda Yacht Club still exists and has had a royal charter since 1846. The drink is said to have originated there, however, it first appeared in print in Trader Vic's Bartender's Guide in 1947.

Falernum is a low alcohol liqueur originally from Barbados where it was first made at home by infusing rum with lime, ginger, almonds and cloves. We prefer Maggie's Farm Falernum over John D. Taylor's Velvet Falernum. It has a strong flavor of spice and a hint of lime but is less sweet so we add a teaspoon of simple syrup to compensate. There's a noticeable aroma of mulled wine coming from the spices. We have tried this cocktail with several rums but so far we prefer El Dorado 5-year.

Cocktail Colin says:

The Royal Bermuda Yacht Club cocktail is a beautifully conceived tribute to its island namesake, blending classical and tropical elements with finesse. The combination of tart lime juice and smooth white rum sets a refreshing base, while the warmth of falernum and a whisper of orange liqueur envelop the palate in a subtly spiced, aromatic embrace that truly makes this drink a celebration of Bermuda's yachting elegance.

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.

• Share story:

Email This Page

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.

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 .
