Review

Rum funk and maraschino influences this Daiquiri's beat. Jason calls for this to be served straight-up in a coupe but I prefer with the dilution afforded by serving on-the-rock(s), perhaps in a drum-shaped old-fashioned glass.

This slightly tart and kinda bitter daiquiri is good with light white rum. Just tried it with Planteray five year old Barbados rum with similar results. Added the ice cubes.

This ran just a little on the tart side for me. I think a little more Luxardo and/or absinthe, or perhaps some simple, though no more than a bar spoon, would tweak this into balance for me.

I may had an heavy hand on the absent Dash but my cocktail taste like lime juice, water and rubber for some reason. I guess I will try that cocktail again with a a more accurate way to do a dash with my absent

Had with a beer batter tilapia tostada and it was perfect. This is a well balanced cocktail with just the right amount of punch and citrus.
