Created by yours truly. This was one of the two cocktails with which I won a Havana Club Daiquiri competition in 2002. It is named after Girolamo Luxardo, creator of Luxardo Maraschino liqueur. Lux is also Latin for light.

Review

A classic frozen Daiquiri heavily laced with maraschino cherry.

Delicious - faint background of rum, with marachino much more prominent, plus nice lime tartness. Just a bit on the dry side (despite the syrups added).

This is really good! I added mandarine juice, as it was a bit strong at the time, and sprinked some nutmeg on top. Cheers!

Being a big rum drinker (we have over 20 different types in our drinks cabinet), we both loved this. We did it over the rocks as neither of us like blended drinks, but it was great. A bit strong on the rocks, but that is OK. Went perfectly with our Mexican dinner. Would definitely do again.
Thank you Simon for another perfect drink.
