Daiquiri No. 1 (Embury's 8:2:1 formula)
Traditionally a Daiquiri should always be based on light rum but if I should feel like breaking with tradition and using aged rum, I find Embury's 8:2:1...

A rum lovers version of daiquiri - a great cocktail. Rum dominates the ratios, so PICK A RUM YOU LIKE!! A funky Jamaican; a smooth, aged blend; or a unique, barrel-aged specialy - any of those should do well with the slightly sweet and citrusy background. I don't really like using a mild, white rum here since I don't think this type stands up well on it's own.

Rum was my first alcohol I began drinking nearly 50 years ago, and it still is my favourite. We have, at least, 20 different rums, but prefer those from Barbados, Jamaica, Haiti, or Martinique.
This was excellent. Great flavour with the rum being forward, but still very refreshing.

Made with a 5 year old rum from Belize. Sipping this on a December evening, my wife said, “I think of daiquiris as being a beach drink, but this has a nice wintry quality.”
