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.

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.
