Hey guys! Happy international cocktail day!

I’m back with a new post, this time with a rum based mix.
The weather is getting warmer and warmer with spring in full swing and with summer coming real quick just around the corner, I thought to myself what refreshing mix could I make. As I just got a fresh bottle of Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva which I like a lot, it hit me, I should make a Daquiri, a lime Daquiri so I get that sweet and sour fresh effect 😉

Origins

Ingredients and tools for mixing the Lime Daquiri

So, just to give you some background on this cocktail: Daiquirí is also the name of a beach and an iron mine near Santiago de Cuba, and is a word of Taíno origin. The drink was supposedly invented by an American mining engineer, named Jennings Cox, who was in Cuba at the time of the Spanish–American War.

Ingredients
Here we go, here is the list of what you need to make the Lime Daquiri.
What you need for ingredients and tools:

  • 1 Jigger 25ml/50ml
  • 1 Shaker
  • 1 cocktail glass/martini glass
  • 1 bottle of rum – I got the Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva
  • 1 bottle of sugar syrup – I got the Monin Pure Cane Sugar
  • 1 Lime juice
  • Ice

 

Finished “product”

 

So, then how do you make it?

Well, there are a lot of recipes for Daquiri online, you have the Banana Daquiri, Strawberry Daquiri, but we’re going for the Lime Daquiri, because the lime gives it that sour refreshing taste, that’s what we want 😉

So, to mix it you need:

  • about 50ml of rum
  • about 25ml of lime juice
  • 10ml of sugar syrop
  • put all ingredients in a bar shaker with ice
  • shake that thing silly
  • strain into a chilled cocktail glass

And that’s it, you got yourself a refreshing Lime Daquiri!

Andrei Muresan

My name is Andrei, Andrei-Paul Muresan. I’m an IT professional, born in the wonderful year of 1982, in the heart of Transylvania (for people who don’t know, the heart of Transylvania is a city called Cluj-Napoca, located in Eastern Europe, in Romania to be more exact). Here’s a photo of me, just to put a face to the name 😉 I mentioned Transylvania because most people are more likely to know where Transylvania is and not where Romania is 🙂 oh and by the way, vampires, they’re just ghost stories, sorry to disappoint everybody. As you might expect, given my profession, I’m passionate about technology and everything that surrounds it, but I am also a great spirits fan, and when I say spirits I mean scotch, whisk(e)y and cognac, and I also enjoy a good cigar (I never say no to a good cigar). I like to mix all that with a good tune and also a good game, I own a couple of game consoles. I am, by no means, an expert in the scotch/whisk(e)y/cognac/cigar world, but I am keen on learning everything there is to know about it, so I’m launching an invitation to you, to join me in this virtual journey as we learn together.
