The story behind Bissap Ivoirien
This house cocktail pairs Côte d’Ivoire’s hibiscus bissap tradition with white rum, ginger and lime. The recipe keeps the tart, floral character of bissap at the center.
This is a Where It's Five house creation inspired by local ingredients and drinking traditions, not a historic national cocktail.
