History

The Italian Bacardí Legacy 2016 winning cocktail created by Livio Morena at Caffè Propaganda in Rome.

A tribute to all the special people in our life. A wish for those to come. The story of a journey and what stands behind it. The story of what stands by our side. A line to follow and a line to draw. A bottle, a boat, and my grandma's kitchen.

Livio Morena, 2016


(For the dry sherry, Livio's prefers to use Lustau Almacenista José Luis González Obregón)

Review

I love what the dry sherry adds to this Daiquiri, but given the addition of salt perhaps manzanilla sherry would have been more appropriate than fino? Remembering this is a Legacy competition cocktail, the "no garnish" seems a shame.

Sugar syrup (2:1), lime juice, and fino sherry make for an interesting combination. The rum was fairly lost in my drink, I might have to try again with something with more character than my Don Q Cristal. As it stands, more interesting than enjoyable.

Agreed. I was excited to try this drink. Tried the recipe as written, and I was disappointed.

I used sugar syrup as suggested. And the pinch of salt did its job perfectly(enhance flavors) . I havent tried manzanilla sherry. Overall great drink. Salud?from mexico
