Review:
Passion fruit syrup is flavoursome stuff, and its fruity richness is used sparingly to greatly enhance this bittersweet cocktail.
History:
Adapted from a recipe created circa 2005 by Kevin Armstrong at Match Bar in London, England. The Dry Daiquiri started its course towards becoming a contemporary classic cocktail in 2006/7 when it was added to the menu at Trailer Happiness over in London's Notting Hill.

Why is it called Dry Daiquiri? One would expect a something dry like a martini. This drink is rather like a small jungle bird trying to fly. Let's call it Fly Daiquri.
