Shawn C commented on 6/24/2023:

Interesting, quite herbal although not as intense as I anticipated for a drink that is half herbal liqueur. The peat in the Laphroaig somehow tames the Izarra's peppermint/spearmint character.

Hazy Daiquiri

1 1⁄2 oz Pineapple rum, Plantation Stiggins' Fancy
3⁄4 oz Grand Hops Amaro, Greenbar
1⁄2 oz Mango Syrup
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Grapefruit juice
1 ds Grapefruit bitters, Scrappy's Grapefruit
Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice for 15 seconds, strain into coupe. Garnish with grapefruit twist or half grapefruit wheel.

Notes

Do a split base with the Stiggins' and a white rum for something a bit less fruity. For the mango syrup, I use frozen unsweetened Goya mango fruit pulp, blended 1:1 with 1:1 cane syrup cuz it's easy and I'm cheap. You could make your own by pureeing fresh mango slices in a blender, or use more expensive mango purees like Perfect Puree, Boiron, La Fruitiere, etc.
