Description

The Elusive Dreams is a modern tiki cocktail that was created by Demi Natoli in Nashville, Tennessee. It's a variation of the Hotel Nacional that uses the unexpected flavor of rich banana liqueur in place of the traditional recipe's apricot brandy, and it also mixes a touch of cinnamon syrup with the classic's rum, pineapple, and lime.
