Review:

A bite-sized Daiquiri No.1 that calls for dainty sips rather than gulps. No, it's not a shot!

Much depends on the quality of the lime, as in any daiquiri. More so in this snack version.

Too small. :) More seriously, the regular Daiquiri is one of my favorite drinks, & (I.M.O.) the best way to evaluate a rum besides sniffing or tasting it straight out of the bottle.
