Review

Restrained in alcohol but not lacking in balance nor fruitiness. I've added a mere four drops of our Daiquiri Bitters to Trader Vic's original recipe but I feel he'd have approved.

Why Daiquiri bitters here, not Margarita bitters?

Because our Daiquiri biters have a pineapple and mint flavour that suits this cocktail.
