Review:

Reminiscent of a Honeysuckle Daiquiri with distinctive fino sherry notes. Honey and lemon juice combine brilliantly, smoothed and made frothy by egg white.

History:

Adapted from a recipe created by James Crinson at LaLaLand Lounge Bar in Wanaka. This was the 2016 New Zealand Bacardí Legacy winning cocktail.

I moved to Wanaka to find my place in the world, my passion and direction. Just as Don Facundo found his calling refining the rum-making process, I've found mine in hospitality, making cocktails. Te Anaka is my Legacy cocktail and my interpretation of the place I now call home, Wanaka, inspired by both the produce around me and by the flavour profile of Bacardí Carta Blanca. Te Anaka is my way of sharing this beautiful place, my home, with the world and showing people everywhere that they, too, can create paradise and enjoy Wanaka.
James Crinson, 2016

I didn't see the note about the salt and zest garnish, but I still found it to be truly delicious and delightful. The salty savouriness of the sherry pairs well with the ever so slight vegetal tinge within the sugarcane notes of the rum (I used Planteray 3 Stars). This is bordering on one of my favourite Daiquiri variations.

I just used Plantaray 3 Stars as well. More than serviceable. The amontillado I had though did stick out a bit much. Not sure to what intensity fino played at, if that's what you used... There's a peculiar toasted coconut note late in the aftertaste. Did you get that too?
