Reminiscent of a Honeysuckle Daiquiri with salty sherry notes. The rum, fino sherry, honey and lemon juice combine brilliantly, smoothed and made frothy...
I didn't see the note about the salt and zest garnish, but I still found it to be truly delicious and delightful. The salty savouriness of the sherry pairs well with the ever so slight vegetal tinge within the sugarcane notes of the rum (I used Planteray 3 Stars). This is bordering on one of my favourite Daiquiri variations.
I just used Plantaray 3 Stars as well. More than serviceable. The amontillado I had though did stick out a bit much. Not sure to what intensity fino played at, if that's what you used... There's a peculiar toasted coconut note late in the aftertaste. Did you get that too?
