A superbly refreshing cocktail on a hot day. Blend with too much ice and you will have a tasteless slushy drink that will give you brain-ache if you drink...
The maraschino float makes this a cousin of the Papa Doble daiquiri - one of my favorites. A quick and easy way to boost the flavor and interest in an already classic cocktail.
Remade this Daiquiri, making the mistake of weighing out 7 ounces of ice! Was a complete, absolute slushy. Nevertheless, still delicious, though not as good as the strained, less ice version. It was brain freeze inducing, but still nice and sharp, with all the flavours very noticeable.
Strained the blended slushie through the fine strainer. However, some slush still went through the strainer. Maybe because I was pressing on it a bit. Regardless, the drink was absolutely delicious. Both the slushie and the cocktail were great. There was the standard rum flavour. with lime citrus, and the Maraschino, though small in amount, was large in flavour. A delight.
Hi Chris. The strainer won't remove all the ice (at least if you use a Coco strainer) but it will remove larger pieces. I've amended the 'How to make' above to make that clearer. Many thanks.
