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!
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.
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.
