The inspiration behind this cocktail, as explained by Nina Kumar, a home bartender from Vancouver, BC, “I wanted use ingredients from my ethnic background (Indian) and my partner’s (Moroccan). This is what is so great and what I love about where I live (Vancouver, BC) is that there is such an acceptance of different cultures. And that is why I called it the Tapestry cocktail. It’s a tapestry of cultural elements centred around the Columbian based rum coffee liqueur.”
