mako commented on 8/26/2020:

Not to be confused with the "Autumn's Daiquiri" which is similar in name and concept. The Eclipse rum adds a funky apple note but the other drink just adds apple cider (a lot!). This one is definitely more true to the basic daiquiri template of booze + lime + sugar.

I've made this by using a mild spiced rum and subbed a smidge of rum for apple brandy. Not the same but definitely in the spirit of the drink.

William C commented on 11/12/2024:

Per the D&C book, this is supposed to have 1/2 oz. pineapple juice as well.

Craig E commented on 11/12/2024:

Curated to add the missing pineapple juice.

  • That is very pleasant! I'm not much of a fan of most stirred drinks but this is really enjoyable.

winepusher commented on 9/03/2020:

Nice sipper! Had to modify based on what I had in the bar. Used High Wire Distilling's Southern Amaro which is a little drier and higher abv than the Montenegro, so I added 1/8oz of a black tea simple syrup I had. Also used a homemade creme de banana.

Abstract Truth

1 Grapefruit peel
Instructions

Stir, strain into a chilled old fashioned glass. Garnish with a long expressed grapefruit swath, curled inside the glass. No ice.

Notes

The Chicago-based CH products aren't nationally available as far as I know. The CH Amaro is a high proof amaro (40%) infused with cacao nibs, sub with Cynar 70 and a dash of Scrappy's Chocolate Bitters (or other chocolate / mole bitters). The CH Dogma Bitter Dog is very similar to Zucca Rabarbaro.

When you say "Dash or two in the foam and decorate as needed" - are there bitters involved? Thanks,  Zachary
