So there's an instagram challenge going around started by @thehobbydrinkchef called #whatsinyourdaiquiri and I was challenged by @elusivemoosedrinks to post my daiquiri spec. Is there a better challenge for the last month of summer? I don't think so.
The Daiquiri is such a great cocktail template and can be made so many different and delicious ways. They're so simple and really show off the rum or rums used. I'd consider the Daiquiri a must know cocktail for any aspiring cocktail bartender.
Anyways here's my spec. The first of many as I've got at least two more daiquiris to post before this challenge ends.
1.5 oz @flordecanarum 4 year extra dry rum
.5 oz @wrayandnephewus overproof rum
.75 oz lime juice
.75 oz demerara simple syrup
Shake, strain into a coupe, garnish with a lime wheel.
duh, I forgot to challenge someone else. @papa_reeky show us your favorite daiquiri!
