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.
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)
