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Originally made for Zacapa rum which suits lemon rather than lime in a Daiquiri.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.

I feel this misses a trick to be called a Zacquiri.

The sweetness accompanied with sourness makes this a delightful after dinner treat.
