Eryn's Daiquiri
A daiquiri of white rum split with rhum agricole blanc, plus lime juice and cane sugar syrup. It is tart, medium-sweet, and moderately strong at about 14% ABV.
Swapping some of the Nicaraguan rum for rhum agricole adds a grassy, earthy funk to an otherwise equally tart and lightly sweet sour.
- Same: Flor de Caña white rum, 1 oz lime juice and .5 oz cane syrup.
- Different: 1.5 oz Flor de Caña plus .5 oz rhum agricole blanc instead of 2 oz Flor de Caña; same coupe and lime wedge.
Jillian's Daiquiri
A daiquiri built on a blend of three rums (dry white, aged Demerara, and Banks white) with lime juice and cane sugar syrup. It is tart, medium-sweet, and moderately strong at about 14% ABV.
Splitting the white rum with aged Demerara and Jamaican rums adds deeper molasses and funky tropical notes while keeping the same crisp lime-and-sugar balance.
- Same: 1 oz lime juice and .5 oz cane syrup, shaken into a coupe.
- Different: A split base of .75 oz Flor de Caña, .75 oz El Dorado 3-year and .5 oz Banks white rum instead of 2 oz Flor de Caña.
Honeysuckle
A white rum sour with lime juice and honey syrup. It is tart, sweet, and moderately strong at about 14% ABV.
Honey syrup instead of cane syrup, with a little less lime, makes it sweeter, rounder and floral-honeyed rather than crisp and tart.
- Same: 2 oz Flor de Caña white rum and lime juice, shaken, with a lime wedge.
- Different: .75 oz honey syrup instead of .5 oz cane syrup; .75 oz lime juice instead of 1 oz.
Ti Punch
A rhum agricole drink built over a little lime juice and cane syrup. It is tart, off-dry, and strong at about 26% ABV.
All rhum agricole with just a splash of lime and a touch of cane syrup, built unshaken, make it much stronger, grassier and drier, with a sharper raw-cane bite.
- Same: Lime juice, cane syrup and white rum.
- Different: Rhum agricole instead of Flor de Caña; lime and 1 tsp cane syrup muddled in a double rocks glass, then stirred over cracked ice; no garnish.
Ravi's Daiquiri
A daiquiri of extra-dry white rum, lime juice, and rich simple syrup. It is tart, medium-sweet, and moderately strong at about 14% ABV.
Rich syrup and slightly less lime make it a touch sweeter and fuller-bodied, with less tart lime snap.
- Same: 2 oz Flor de Caña white rum, shaken into a coupe with a lime wedge.
- Different: .75 oz lime juice instead of 1 oz; .5 oz rich simple syrup instead of cane sugar syrup.
Alex's Daiquiri
A classic daiquiri of extra-dry white rum, a full ounce of lime juice, and simple syrup. It is tart, medium-sweet, and moderately strong at about 13% ABV.
More syrup, using plain simple syrup instead of cane syrup, makes it slightly sweeter and a little lighter, with a cleaner, less rich sugar note.
- Same: 2 oz Flor de Caña white rum and 1 oz lime juice, shaken into a coupe.
- Different: .75 oz simple syrup instead of .5 oz cane sugar syrup, making it slightly sweeter; same lime wedge.
