Review:
Pineapple shines in this cognac-influenced Daiquiri. Best when made with an aged Jamaican blended rum to impart a touch of funk.
History:
Adapted from a recipe in William Schmidt's 1892 The Flowing Bowl: What and When to Drink.
The Gem.
William Schmidt, 1891/2
A mixing-glass,
The juice of a lime,
A little pineapple syrup,
A spoonful of sugar; dissolve well;
½ drink of Santa Cruz rum,
½ drink of brandy.
Mix this well, fill your glass with ice, and mix again; strain into a fine glass; place a slice of lemon on top and grate a little cinnamon upon it.
