Today I tried a version without Lime cordial, the recipe possibly from the Punch magazine (see below). The result, using Plymouth gin is a very straight, fresh cocktail which needs to adjust the sweetness.

2 ounces gin
3/4 ounce fresh lime juice
3/4 ounce orange liqueur (Grand Marnier)
1-2 barspoon rich sugar syrup
1 dash Angostura bitters
1 dash orange bitters
Lime twist, for garnish

It was good. Thanks again. Having foresworn the cordial, we thought that Grand Marnier was a good choice.

My pleasure. Lime cordial and grenadine are always difficult. When I have more time, I will try to switch to homemade versions.

The inclusion of lime cordial in the original recipe always turned us away. Thank you for yours...we will try it. Another Daiquiri variant...what could go wrong?

I have to ask, which lime cordial are you using? Because when you use a good lime cordial (I made my own with Jeffrey Morgenthaler's recipe), it was fresh yet had this bracing sweet-sour quality that truly shone in this drink, even popping the orange out of the Curacao.
