The high-end dining venue is The Plantation Club with its colonial architecture. There is the intimate dining room as well as a verandah and paved area. There is an open-sided building by the pool, and that\u2019s the bar. It is welcoming in the evening for cocktails and nibbles, and it\u2019s a comfortable and quiet space to enjoy a little reflective time or to meet friends before dinner.<\/p>\n

But the cocktails don\u2019t have to end with the trip home. One can take a cookery class and part of that is the preparation of a Caipirinha Passion with Basilic. This is a fruity and deceptively strong cocktail made with the celebrated Chamarel White Rhum (read about the Chamarel Distillery here)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This Caipirinha Passion with Basilic is simple to prepare, and although the recipe specifies lime it actually works very well with lemon. No, that might not be a classic Brazilian Caipirinha, but this is Mauritius after all, and we are using a high quality Chamarel White Rhum to make this truly a taste of Mauritius.<\/p>\n

Tip: For those who are not lovers of basil, one can omit the herb from the crushing process, and use it just as a garnish.<\/p>\n
