There's a load of orgeat (almond syrup) in this Daiquiri-style cocktail, but it's only just on the sweet side of balanced with that almond richness contributing...

Very nice indeed! Acidity and sweetness are balanced beautifully, the nutmeg is a really nice touch giving a hint of spice, and the nutty flavours are strong and sweet without overpowering the tangy lime and the gentle heat of the rum. I didn't have any fresh mint this time, but will definitely be trying this drink again for sure and I'm sure this will improve an already fantastic drink even more by adding a cool, fresh element to the complex flavour profile. Thank you Maurizio, and well done!

Simple ingredients amounting to a more nuanced drink than expected. Will be making again!

Yum! Homemade orgeat is a bit of work, but with a cocktail like this, it shouldn’t be a problem using it up before it goes funky. Lovely balance without being too sweet. The healthy dollop of Angostura adds a nice complexity and color.

More sophisticated than you might imagine. As with so many cocktails singing one verse of ‘wipeout’ by the safaris will give a perfect shake

Wow, very nice. balanced. Forgot the dusting of nutmeg but went back and added and a nice touch. Used Liber & Co. orgeat and reduced to .5 oz. Probably a crowd pleaser.
