It’s already summer in Florida, so I’m trying to move away from Old Fashioned’s, Manhattans, etc.
I’m a Daiquiri fan and this drink is great. Plantation 5 year rum from Barbados works really well and the clove flavors from the Falernum are spot on. What a wonderful drink.

I accidentally left out the sugar syrup the first time I made this. Tried again with it, and I’m not convinced it even needs it (I’ll admit that I do prefer slightly sour drinks). Very tasty.

Wow, the orange curaçao is a stand out here on first sip. (I used Pierre Ferrand.) Will try again with Doorly's as per Mr. Hinojos' recommendation.

Made again using Barbados rum. Perfect. Not too sweet with a wonderful citrus flavour.
The choice of rum will make a difference. You need one which is not adulterated by sugar syrup.
While I love the funk of Jamaican, Martinique, and Haitian rhum, it will through this cocktail off balance. Stick with Barbados.

Indeed, made this again with Mount Gay Eclipse and it was perfect! Thanks for the suggestion.

A very good cocktail, but not my favorite - I thought that the curacao made it a bit too orangey.

The most outstanding daiquiri I tried, though clearly your falernum is half of the magic.

Terrific! Enough rum that I could enjoy the funky nose using Havana Club Añejo Clásico. The rum, citrus and other flavors were in perfect balance. Nice upgrade in complexity from a standard daiquiri.
