History

Adapted from the Italicus Daiquiri created by Julio Cabrera at his Cafe La Trova in Miami, USA. Julio's son, Andy Cabrera, made his father's delicious Daiquiri for me after the Art of Italius Aperitivo Challenge in May 2024 with Rome's famous Colosseum as a backdrop.

I used Hampden's gold for the golden rum so I scaled back the rum by about 10%. That made for a surprisingly balanced cocktail. The Italicus doesn't so much take over as it lifts the floral components of the rum and bitters. It's absolutely still recognisable as a Daiquiri riff, albeit a floral one. It's slightly sweet so next time I'll reduce the sugar by a quarter.

The italicus gives a nice floral lift to the rum

A very good surprise. First time i made it with Clement Bleu canne rhum and Havana 3 years and it was etxraodinary. With a Pere Labat 59%, it's even better.

Made this with madeiran Branca rum agricola (aguardente de cana), Havana club 3yo, and peychauds bitters which gave it a nice slight pink hue. Really enjoyed it, I do like a bit of agicultural rum and I love italicus.
