Review:

This unusual Daiquiri leads with sweet maraschino and finishes with sour grapefruit. I've tried with a more flavoursome 'gold' rum, but this is a cocktail that shines with a light white rum.

Diluted nonsense. Made this with Banks 5, thinking that might cut through the mix enough to make it interesting. But the lack of palpable acidity renders this concoction mufflingly mute.
