The Daiquiri

[Paullee000]

I think this is actually called a rum sour X-(

Daiquiri should have some Cointreau in it, or some other orange flavored liqueur.

this video is a couple of years old and since then I have been freshly squeezing all citrus into drinks to order. Simple syrup i still stand by, although sugar itself dissolved and mixed in is something i do too. With regards the measuring. i have always free poured...it is alot to do with feeling the drink and balancing on my taste as opposed to measures all the time. jiggers are used for some drinks and but not for all. thats how i do it and will continue to do that. check out the new season!

nice, though it is a bit disconcerting to see simple syrup and lime juice rather than the traditional practice of sugar in the glass, juice squeezed freshly over it, mixed, then of course ice then the rum... and no measuring with a jigger? I know you might feel comfortable with the difference between 1.5 and 2 ounces or 2 and 2.5, but precision is part of the art, then you adjust for the strong or light prefs of the drinker.

Isn't that Chris Doig from restaurant/cocktail bar Umami in Denmark??

I consider it a legacy to Hemmingway's brilliant writing. But i can appreciate your point of view..

[luisitosax]

I am not sure if I can prefer a drink which was the preferred drink of a peson who comitted suicide

[johniee]

[fillopastry]

expertly done. that bar looks familiar. is that in London somewhere?

[skyrissian]

Beautiful. Always use fresh squeezed lime.

[PenguinArmyDanmark]

thanks for all the feedback. yes i used freshly squeezed juices. We use fresh everyday. and now have a hand squeezer to 'make to order'.

[puertoricangirl1973]

Nice. it's just the way a purist would order a daiquiri.

Hey Buddy. nice daiquiri. I in Havana next week on holiday& shall visit La Bodeguita del medio where hemingway had his favourite daiquiri's many moons ago. Word is these places r a mere photo opportunity nowadays &have lost the atmosphere that made them favoured haunts. None-the-less i shall check it out&then b on way along the Malecon. Let me know if want anything brought back buddy(im due u4 my bday gift) Either way we should puff on big fat cohiba's 2gether very soon. Take care my friend x

[dajnfoiefbhi]

he actually had mojito's in el bodeguito del medio, la floridita was his favourite daiquiri spot. although i would reccomend el bodeguita del medio over la floridita. la floridita has a very sterile atmosphere

[cronict]

Nice to see someone who knows his stuff :) yum!

[tomazzio]

one of my favorites.

luv it.
