The Telegraph Twist

The Telegraph Twist is a sophisticated tiki cocktail with a delightful blend of sweetness and richness. The pear liqueur and tawny port complement the aged rum, creating a perfect after-dinner indulgence. For a lighter pre-dinner option, simply reduce the proportions of port and pear liqueur. Named after the Chadburn telegraph, this versatile drink is a true delight for any occasion.
