Yum what a fabulous daiquiri! This one gets a heart. I used Stade's Beach Vat N°I Barbados light white rum recommended by a fellow discerning drinker (thank you John) and reduced the added water slightly as it was only tap cold. Excellent recipe thanks Simon.

Ugh. I've got a frustrating variety of white rum on hand right now. Brugal Extra Dry falls flat here. Plantation 3 Stars is, of course, beyond serviceable... The resultant flavorage makes me crave my Carta Blanca, which I've somehow not had in house for months. Tough times.

Really nice and refreshing, all weather Daiquiri.
