Daiquiri45 votes Tweet This
Vote for the classic daiquiri with its heratage dating to the 1890s Cuba. A cocktail which is making a huge come-back now that its being made more oftern with real fruit and not artficial flavours, a well balenced cocktail good for any time and any place.
7cl/2oz Bacardi Superior White / Carta Blanca
1 Lime
1tea spoon or 2 Sugar cubes
1cl or 1/8oz water
Put sugar,water and lime jucie into the shaker and stir for 5 seconds add the Bacardi and some nice freezing cold ice straight from the freezer shake hard for about 12 seconds so the shaker nealy sticks to your hands.
On the rocks pour without straining into a large old fasioned whisky glass. Straight up strain the Daiquiri into a frozen martini glass. Garnish both with the zest of a LEMON.

Rhuby Daiquiri35 votes Tweet This
This is a twist on a Hemingway daiquiri I came up with after having a slice of rhubarb pie, remembering that it's one of my favorite flavors and vowing to get that flavor into a glass.
2 oz. white rhum agricole
.75 oz. fresh lime juice
.25 oz. Luxardo Maraschino
.25 oz. simple syrup
.75 oz. Rhubarb syrup*
1.0 oz. Ruby red grapefruit juice
Dash Fee Brothers Grapefruit Bitters
Shake over ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lime wedge. *Rhubarb Syrup 4 cups diced rhubarb 2.5 cups water 1.5 cups sugar .5 Tablespoon freshly microplaned ginger 1/8 tsp. Chinese Five Spice powder
Boil rhubarb w/water. Lower heat, simmer covered about 25 min. until rhubarb breaks down. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining ingredients & allow to cool slightly. Puree then strain thru fine chinoise, pressing on solids to remove as much syrup as possible.

Similar to a Vieux Carre and reminds me of drinks I used to have when I was living in New Orleans... except now with better liquor. Apologies for the cl and not oz... seems all my measuring devices are metric these days.

4cl El Dorado 15 Year Old Special Reserve Demarera Rum
4cl Sweet Vermouth
3 dashes Peychaud's Bitters
3 Dashes Angostura Bitters
2cl Absinth or Pernod
Twist of lemon
Pour the rums and vermouth into an old-fashioned glass half full of ice. Add the bitters and absinth/Pernod. Stir. Squeeze the lemon twist and drop it in.

Mango Sunset13 votes Tweet This
If you like mango, you'll LOVE this drink!
2-3 parts Cruzan Mango Rum
1 part V8 V-Fusion Peach Mango Juice
Splash of Grenadine, optional
Pour rum over ice, then add juice and stir or shake to combine. Add a splash of Grenadine for the "sunset" coloring, if desired. To 'kick it up a notch', float a bit of Myer's Dark Rum or Bacardi 151 on top, and in the straw.
All my friends love this drink, even the ones who don't normally go for the sweet/fruity drinks. I like to mix up a big batch for parties and serve it up in a punch bowl. You can add tropical fruits and/or a few scoops of mango sorbet - YUM!

This is a tweak on the classic Daiquiri No. 2 from El Floridita. Freshly squeezed clementine juice replaces orange juice, and orange bitters are added to round out the flavours. It's a refreshing drink on a hot summer day.
1.5 oz white rum of choice
.25 oz fresh clementine juice
.25 oz triple sec
.75 oz fresh lime juice
.75 oz simple syrup
2-3 drops Angostura Orange Bitters
