Quick question - do the four mint leaves go into the shaker and an extra one is the garnish? Thanks,  Zachary

Fino Daiquiri

1 1⁄2 oz Fino sherry, Lustau
1⁄2 oz Rhum Agricole, Rhum JM Blanc (the 100 proof version is key here.)
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Rich simple syrup 2:1
Instructions

Shake with ice, double strain, serve up.

Notes

The typical dry, slightly mineral and nutty flavors of the sherry come through, and it works really well with the classic grassy notes of the agricole rounding things out. A great daytime daiquiri.

History

Was listening to an episode of the Shift Drink podcast and Mony Bunni, who is a brand ambassador for Lustau, very briefly mentioned a fino sherry daiquiri, but didn't delve into the spec or anything. The idea sounded delicious and I happened to have an open bottle of fino in my fridge, so I gave it a whirl, pairing the fino with rhum agricole..

Blaq Daq

3⁄4 oz Virgin Islands Rum, Cruzan Blackstrap
3⁄4 oz Navy strength rum, Smith & Cross
1⁄2 oz Bitters, Angostura
1⁄2 oz Allspice Dram, St. Elizabeth
3⁄4 oz Demerara syrup
1 oz Lime juice
Instructions

Shake all ingredients, strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a lime twist or lime wheel.

Notes

Due to the amount of bitters used, this drink is pretty flexible with the rum choices. I've used Goslings, Hamilton Jamaican Black, Mt. Gay Black, Coruba, etc. without splitting the base with Smith & Cross to good effect. I've also used 1 oz of a high proof rum like Hamilton Demerara 151 by itself. Using all Cruzan Blackstrap was too much of a good thing for me, so I would split that with another dark rum. If you don't have the allspice dram, just use 1 oz demerara syrup.

  • Used Amargo Vallet in place of the Angostura; used Appleton V/X with the Cruzan. Found the Allspice a bit strong, and I might have needed to cut the demerara to 0.5 oz as a result of using the Vallet.

Used Gosling's and OTFD because that's what I had. Went a touch lighter on the Demerara. It's really good.

  • Nice complexity, but a little mint heavy for me. Will make next time with Fernet Vallet.

  • Very good. Where I'd give the Penicillin a 5, this gets a 4. Next time I'll up the Ardbeg to 1 tsp and give it a scant 0.5 oz of maple syrup. Or maybe 2 oz of genever.

Bevx commented on 6/20/2017:

Do you have a preferred vermouth (or 2) for this one?

MOJO1229 commented on 6/21/2017:

Make mine Dolin--hands down.Or up, if you prefer. Actually, I'd probably use Dolin blanc. Well, I did. I ate (or drank) my own words. Not bad. A tad sweet, which is what I expected, given I used blanc vermouth, but otherwise a reasonable drink--one that I rated 3.5.

Next time, just to find out how dry vermouth stacks up against blanc vermouth, I'll try it dry and let you know which I like better. I just may be surprised!

andrelbhenrique commented on 2/02/2024:

Definitely a dryer version is preferred. 1 1/4 gin, 1 dry vermouth and 3/4 cynar 70.

Hubajube commented on 6/02/2024:

I used 1.5 charred onion Noilly Pratt, .75 cynar 70, .25 cinpatrazzo, and bittermans celery shrub. Excellent!
