History:

Adapted from a recipe in David A. Embury's 1948 book The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks.

SNOW WHITE
1 part Sugar Syrup
2 parts Lime Juice
2 parts Pineapple Juice
8 parts White Cuban Rum
1 Egg White to each 2 drinks
Follow directions for mixing the September Morn. If fresh pineapple juice is not available, a somewhat similar cocktail (but not as good) can be made by substituting pineapple syrup for sugar syrup.

Not bad at all. Not quite like any Daiquiri I've tried. Beautiful burst of flavor up front, wonderfully dry in the finish. This is something I could see making in batches at a party. Top work.
