1 1⁄2 oz Añejo rum (I used Barbancourt 8 Year)
1⁄2 oz Sweet vermouth
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄4 oz Bénédictine
1⁄4 oz Amer Picon
1 pn Salt (or 3-5 drop 1:4 saline)
Instructions
Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail coupe.
Notes
Aroma is dark orange countered by bright lime notes. Lime, caramel, and grape sip, and rum and a slightly bitter orange-herbal flavor swallow.
History
In thinking about the Manhattan variation The Creole, I wondered if I could make it into a Daiquiri if I swapped rum as the base and added lime juice. Given the original recipe, it seemed like the Floridita (a classic Cuban Daiquiri with sweet vermouth and two sweeteners) would make a great skeleton to manipulate. The original was a touch too bitter, and this was fixed with a pinch of salt.
