History

Adapted from a recipe created in 2024 by Lorenzo Antinori and Simone Caporale at their Montana bar in Hong Kong where this is the house Daiquiri.

Review

As with all Daiquiris, a perfect Montana is finely balanced, including achieving the ideal dilution. The maraschino liqueur and framboise eau de vie add subtle but pleasing fruitiness.

I think it's supposed to be a reference to Tony Montana from Scarface
