White or gold light rum cocktails

Classically tangy Daiquiri but sweetened with pomegranate syrup and a splash of maraschino.

Honeysuckle Daiquiri

A Daiquiri made with flavoursome honey in place of sugar, or a Bee's Knees with rum in place of gin. However you view this, it's damn tasty.

Queen's Park Hotel Super Cocktail

Perhaps best described as being a Trinidadian Daiquiri due to its heavy use of Angostura Bitters. Obviously, it would also have originally been made with

Smooth and balanced with great rum character. Lime fresh and fruity sweet.
