The Daiquiri meets the Margarita in this suitably 'funky' and punchy cocktail.

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Plenty of funk from the Rum Fire. Was fine with Olmeca Altos blanco tequila.

Very well balanced , a fantastic concoction. However, a cocktail remembering THE HONORARY CONSUL ought to strike a much darker tone. Speak of Mezal.

This was a total wow cocktail for us. Not sure if it is a tequila based daiquiri or a rum based margarita. Everything work with this cocktail. Perfect with our Mexican dinner. Wish we had made more. Going on our favourites.
