History
Adapted from the Latvian Bacardí Legacy 2014 winning cocktail created by Robert Kalvans at Cheers Bar in Riga, Latvia. Robert's original recipe called for 45ml Bacardi Carta Blanca, 20ml apple juice, 20ml passion fruit syrup, 15ml Lime juice, 10ml egg white, and 10 fresh basil leaves.
I have always been interested in logos of different companies and was inspired by the Bacardí logo and the story it tells. In 1862 the wife of Facundo Bacardi was walking along a distilling factory and heard the sound of bats under the roof. So she suggested the bat as their logo, symbolising health, happiness and success. Thus the bat became one of the most recognizable logos in the world
Robert Kalvans, 2014
This story inspired me to make a cocktail in honour of all women who give us inspiration and strength with their passion, beauty and love to do great things. And the wife was called Amalia; I named my cocktail in honour of her and of all women.
Review
Take a simple Daquiri and add apple juice, fresh basil and passion fruit syrup, plus a splash of egg white to give a foaming head, and you have an Amalia.

Rich, flavoursome honey replaces sugar syrup in this delicious Daiquiri. The fuller your honey, the more flavoursome your rum should be.

Fruity, yet spirit-forward. Looking at the ingredients, this cocktail should be very sweet. It is rich, but it is surprising how the dilution from...
