Review:
Originally made for Zacapa rum which suits lemon rather than lime in a Daiquiri. Daiquiris benefit from dilution and here a dash of apple juice adds a barely perceptible amount of fruit as well.
History:
Created in January 2009 by yours truly (Simon Difford) at the Cabinet Room, London, England.
