Santa Marta Daiquiri

How to make:

SHAKE first 3 ingredients with ice and fine strain into chilled glass. FLOAT spoon of kirsch eau de vie on surface of drink.

Garnish:

Lime wedge on rim

Comment:

A float of Kirsch eau-de-vie adds wonderfully fruity aromatics to an otherwise classic Natural Daiquiri.

Variant:

2 1/3 shot Bacardi Carta Blanca white rum ¾ Freshly squeezed lime juice ½ shot Sugar syrup ½ shot Chilled water (omit if wet ice) 1/6 shot Kirsch eau-de-vie.

About:

This adaptation of a Natural Daiquiri was discovered by Joerg Meyer in 2011 in the 1948 edition of the Cuban Cantinero bartender’s own journal, El Arte del Cantinero Los Vinos Y Los Licores.
