Pomegranate Daiquiri
Freshly pressed pomegranate juice is essential to the success of this deliciously fruity but dry Daiquiri. Sadly, packaged juice doesn't produce a cocktail...

We use a white over-proof pot-still rum, but we haul it back to 30-40ml. For us, this gives backbone to an otherwise timid, but nonetheless delightful, cocktail.

Reading the comments below, I tried it and I would agree rhum agricole takes this to another level. Made this twice. First time to spec: not enough pomegranate. Second time, increased the pomegranate to 30 ml and did a 1:1 split between the light rum and rhum agricole. Great combo of ingredients.

The addition of rhum agricole is a great call, I'll give it a try. Many thanks.

Enjoyed this one. I’m not big on sweet drinks, but I felt it was sour enough as written with the fresh lime juice. Tried halving the sugar syrup, but honestly didn’t notice a significant difference.

this didn't quite cut it for me i was expecting a little more pizazz the fresh pomegranate but it lacked something however i don't know what !!!!

Used 30mls each agricole and light rum. I like it but I’ll use less sugar next time.

Nice, but the gin is too present. Why not the more standard 2:1:1 ratio?

Gin?

Disappointingly - it is worth juicing fresh pomegranates to make this. Disappointing because juicing pomegranates is a real faff. But definitely worth it. Fresh and delicious

Easiest way is to blend the arils and strain off the juice.

Best to cut pomegranates in half (around the equator rather than pole to pole) then squeeze in a pillar juicer - then juicing them is surprisingly easy and efficient.

Used 1 1/4 oz white rum and 3/4 oz white Rhum Agricole. As we like our drinks a bit on the sour side, used half the amount of sugar syrup. It was great. Just a hint of the Martinique rhum flavour and the burst of pomegranate.
