The Daiquiri is treated with a deserved reverance in cocktail circles. The reasons for this exulted treatment are undeniable: the magic combination of rum and lime; the fantastic balance; the rich cuban heritage, and a certain elegance and sophistication. Here are mix shake and pour's top five Daiquiri recipes.
The original Daiquiri that combines just rum, lime and sugar in a devastating package of taste and simplicity.
With such strongly tasting additions as Apricot and Grapefruit it's amazing that the Rum and Lime origins of the Daiquiri are still represented and well balanced in this complex cocktail.
Simon Difford's award winning Daiquiri recipe. Vanilla and Pineapple add extra layers of flavour without significantly deviating from the classic Daiquiri taste. An enhanced Natural Daiquiri.
A genuine classic adding a significant orange edge to the usual Daiquiri mix.
Perhaps as far away from the origins of the Daiquiri as a cocktail can be taken while still being eligible for the title. Arguably the best cocktail ever made with Strawberries. A superb classic.
