Review:
Your choice and alcohol strength of rhum and rum and will dramatically affect this finally balanced and delicious cocktail, along with Martinique rhum it seems fitting to use a lightly aged Cuban rum, if you have access to one.
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.
