A full-flavoured Daiquiri with a delicate touch of clove.

Caipirissima

A Daiquiri-like cocktail made in the style of a Caipirinha.

Canchànchara

Your choice of honey and indeed rum will greatly affect the flavour, and indeed the success of the finished cocktail. More flavoursome honey demands a

Clipper Cocktail

Light, easy drinking and very refreshing.

Corn'n'Oil Cocktail

Rum slightly sweetened and flavoured with the lime and clove flavours of falernum. There is much debate over the Corn 'N' Oil, particularly over the type

Cuba Libre

Basically a rum and coke with a squeeze of lime, but Cuba Libre has much more of a ring about it. And it is much more of a drink, the zesty lime and dashes

Cuba Pintada

The name of this popular Cuban drink literally means 'stained Cuba' and there is just enough cola in this rum and soda to stain the drink brown.

Cuban Liberal

Light white rum mellowed by Italian vermouth and made interesting with bittersweet French Amer Picon liqueur.

Daiquiri (Difford's recipe)

Crisp, light and refreshing. Delicately simple yet with perfectly balanced complexity of flavours. Grind white caster sugar in a mortar and pestle to

This 6:2:1 (6 parts rum, 2 parts lime and 1 part sugar) Daiquiri recipe emerged after an afternoon's Daiquiri experimentation with five of the UK's most

Daiquiri No.1 Natural (Embury's 8:2:1 formula)

Traditionally a Daiquiri should always be based on light rum but if I should feel like breaking with tradition and using aged rum, I find Embury's 8:2:1

Daiquiri (on-the-rocks)

Light and refreshing. No one flavour predominates - sweet and sour are in harmony with the rum.

A pleasant, maroon coloured, blackcurrant-flavoured Daiquiri.

Rich flavoursome honey replaces sugar syrup in this natural Daiquiri. Try experimenting with different kinds of honey. We favour orange blossom honey.

Hop Toad #1

Resembles an apricot Daiquiri that's heavy on the lime yet balanced.

King's Jubilee

If there is such a thing as a 'Rum Aviation', then this is surely it. The proportions of the original 1935 recipe stipulate equal amounts of maraschino

Monkey Shine

The sweet, tropical fruitiness of this drink is set off by the spicy rim.

Mr President

A combination of the El-Presidente and Negroni. A cocktail on the bitter side of bittersweet which is perhaps best served on-the-rocks.

Essentially a Seabreeze with rum in place of vodka.

Santiago Daiquiri

This Daiquiri is particularly delicate in its balance between sweet and sour.

Tahitian Honey Bee

Basically a lemon honey Daiquiri or a lemon Canchànchara - very tasty it is too.

Rhubarb and orange influence this Daiquiri twist.

Rum-laced and rust coloured with hints of clove and jasmine. A herbal aperitivo.

Cinnamon Daiquiri

A subtle spicy cinnamon taste with tangy length.

Butterscotch Daiquiri

A candified Daiquiri.

Buona Sera Shot

The use of a dry, or at least not so sweet, espresso-style coffee liqueur is essential to the flavour and balance of this rum-laced nutty coffee shot.

Bahia

If you like Piña Coladas but are too embarrassed to order one then this drink is for you.

Assisted Suicide

Not for the faint-hearted.

A classic Daiquiri with fragrant peach liqueur replacing sugar.

Martiki

Dry and Martini-like. Assertive kümmel flavours pervade a punchy mix of rum and coconut water.

Mango Daiquiri

Tropical yet potent and refreshing.

Basically 'a rum and ginger ale Highball' but Lincoln Club Cooler has more of a ring to it.

Delicately flavoured and heavily laced with rum.

Sure to warm and fairly good.

Vanilla Daiquiri

The classic 'Natural Daiquiri' with a hint of vanilla.

Twelve Miles Out Cocktail

Stir or shake (as originally stipulated in The Savoy Cocktail Book) this cocktail is still boozy. However, it's also wonderfully aromatic with all three

Jean Harlow

Reminiscent of a Martinez but a tad lighter.

Fantasticus

Delicious bergamot zesty freshness with subtle underlying rum. Great as an after-dinner freshening digestivo.

Bali Rum Trader

Looks like swamp water but tastes delicious.
