Bella Donna Daiquiri
Back in 2003, this was the hit cocktail for Difford's Guide staff at the Bellagio, Las Vegas, after working at the Nightclub & Bar Beverage Convention

No sugar syrup. Used a touch of luxardo syrup from the cherry jar and extra lemon juice, exquisite as an accompaniment to cannolis.

Wicked. I made a syrup, 2:1 with coconut sugar and used that instead and it should almost be criminal how easy this is to drink. The Amaretto is forward and if that's not for you I'd suggest upping the lemon to 3/4s a shot.
Too easy to drink.
Too easy to drink.

Nice but too sweet for me, leave the simple syrup off for sure. I'll play around with this one backing off of the Amaretto and maybe adding some Tuaca to see what happens

Made this with Zacapa rum ( never sure how to categorise this) and it worked great. This is a strong one tho so take care!!

Very good drink, but a little too sweet. It has unfortunate cough drop overtones, but these are easily ignored.

Agreed. Too sweet. Hence, I've cut the sugar syrup back by a third to 5ml / 1 spoon.

I found adding some lemon zest and extra juice it can save one that’s already too sweet. Almost makes it taste like iced tea.

so good! I used golden rum because I was out of blackstrap rum, and omitted the sugar... it was perfect. (It seems like a lot of drinks here are too sweet, so I usually omit the sugar anyway) Also, J loved it

Also tried this variant - tasty! Reminded me a bit of a Morgenthaler sour.

Can confirm, just tried it. Nice tweak.

Delicious! I bought a small bottle of black rum as called for in a cake recipe. Then I needed to use the rest so went searching for a cocktail recipe. This one is a keeper, indeed!

Didn’t have any rum so made using spiced rum, also ran out of lemon so used lime instead. Worked out rather nice
