Is there any cocktail category as wide as that of the Daiquiri? Its formula could be expanded from its first rum/lime/sugar/ice simplicity (let’s include Ti’ and Planters punches) all the way to the ‘Daiquiri squared” of complex “Rhum Rhapsodies” and other innovative variations.
Last September, Zelda Magazine was proud to sponsor The Rum Reader’s seminar on this influential cocktail: “The Daiquiri Dossier: An All-Star Discussion at Slowly Shirley!” You can find a transcript of it here: The Rum Reader!
Moderated by St. John Frizell, panelists included Dave Arnold, Shannon Mustipher, Eryn Reece, and Jim Kearns. (Zelda’s own cocktail contributor, spirits expert Garrett Richard, gets several mentions!)
