White or gold light rum cocktails

Daiquiri (Difford's recipe)

Crisp, light and refreshing. Delicately simple yet with perfectly balanced complexity of flavours. For an even better Daiquiri: In place of sugar syrup,

Canchànchara

Your choice of honey and indeed rum will greatly affect the flavour, and indeed the success of the finished cocktail. More flavoursome honey demands a

Mojito Cocktail

When well made, this Cuban cousin of the Mint Julep is one of the world's greatest and most refreshing cocktails.

Daiquiri No.1 (6:2:1 recipe)

This 6:2:1 (6 parts rum, 2 parts lime and 1 part sugar) Daiquiri recipe emerged after an afternoon's Daiquiri experimentation with five of the UK's most

Daiquiri No.5 (Pink Daiquiri)

Classically tangy Daiquiri sweetened with pomegranate syrup and a splash of maraschino.

Honeysuckle Daiquiri

A Daiquiri made with flavoursome honey in place of sugar, or a Bee's Knees with rum in place of gin. However you view this, it's damn tasty.

Daiquiri (on-the-rocks)

Light and refreshing. No one flavour predominates - sweet and sour are in harmony with the rum.

Oh Gosh!

A subtley orange twist on a classic Daiquiri.

Queen's Park Hotel Super Cocktail

Perhaps best described as being a Trinidadian Daiquiri due to its heavy use of Angostura Bitters. Perhaps also originally been made with Trinidad gold

King's Jubilee

If there is such a thing as a 'Rum Aviation', then this is surely it. The proportions of the original 1935 recipe stipulate equal amounts of maraschino

Santiago Daiquiri

This Daiquiri is particularly delicate in its balance between sweet and sour.

Bacardi Cocktail

This classic salmon-pinky cocktail perfectly combines and balances the light rum with the assertive sourness of lime juice and rich sweetness of pomegranate

Caipirissima

A Daiquiri-like cocktail made in the style of a Caipirinha.

Daiquiri No.1 Natural (Countdown 3:2:1 formula)

Made to the easy-to-remember 3:2:1 Daiquiri countdown formula (3 parts rum, 2 parts lime and 1 part sugar), this balanced and limey daiquiri suits a more

Daiquiri No.2

A Daiquiri with subtle orange notes, but far from being a mere Orange Daiquiri.

Fireman's Sour

Smooth and balanced with great rum character. Lime fresh and fruity sweet.

Honey Daiquiri

Rich flavoursome honey replaces sugar syrup in this natural Daiquiri. Try experimenting with different kinds of honey. We favour orange blossom honey.

Jean Harlow

Reminiscent of a Martinez but a tad lighter.

Mint & Honey Daiquiri

A fresh-breath-tastic riff on the classic Daiquiri.

Mint Daiquiri

A short, concentrated Mojito.

Orange Daiquiri

Exactly as it says on the tin: a classic Daiquiri with a fruity splash of freshly squeezed orange juice.

Beachcomber

A Daiquiri with the addition of a dash of triple sec and maraschino.

Casablanca

Go easy on the aromatic bitters (use drops rather than dashes) or your Casablanca will be more orange than blanca. Original recipes in The New American

Commodore No. 1

A Daiquiri sweetened with raspberry and grenadine syrup and mellowed by egg white.

Cuban Cocktail No.2

Faint sweetness balances a spirituous bite in this delicately fruity rose-red bite-sized cocktail.

Maraschino cherry liqueur flavours this finely balanced golden rum based Daiquiri.

A bittersweet melange of Mediterranean fruit.

El Presidente Menocal Special

What hot Cuban summers are made for.

Espresso Daiquiri

A rum-based twist on the ubiquitous and very tasty Espresso Martini.

Maison Charles Daiquiri

Reminiscent of concentrated Mojito.

Mr President

A combination of the El-Presidente and Negroni. A cocktail on the bitter side of bittersweet which is perhaps best served on-the-rocks.

Pedro Collins

This rum-based Tom Collins is basically a long Daiquiri with soda.

Pink Daiquiri

The quality of the pomegranate syrup will make or break this delicate Daiquiri.

President

Delicately fruity sweet and sour.

Sloppy Joe

A well-balanced combination of sweet and sour.

Basil & Honey Daiquiri

Basil adds dry vegetal notes to a Canchànchara (honey) Daiquiri.

Derby Daiquiri

For those seeking the shaken version previously above: Glass: Coupe Garnish: Orange zest twist How to make: SHAKE all ingredients with ice and fine strain

Tahitian Honey Bee

Basically a lemon honey Daiquiri or a lemon Canchànchara - very tasty it is too.

Fair & Warmer Cocktail

Sure to warm and fairly good.

Fort Lauderdale

Rum, vermouth, lime and orange combine in this juicy fresh golden cocktail. It's relevance to Fort Lauderdale is yet to be revealed to us.

Daiquiri (frozen)

A superbly refreshing cocktail on a hot day. Blend with too much ice and you will have a tasteless slushy drink that will give you brain-ache if you drink

Beachcomber's Daiquiri

Basically a frozen rum margarita.

Strawberry Daiquiri

Makes strawberries and cream appear very dull.
