Pampero Blanco for daiquiri's - The venuezelans being the massive party goers they are tend to produce high quality spirits, and Pampero Blanco is pretty much a 'cuban rum' in that it's barrel aged then charcoal distilled. I like to call them 'golden rum'
A wee anecdote...a mate of mine went to Cuba in the early/mid 80's when Cuba was considered off limits to UK tourists for political reasons. Upon deplaning every passenger was handed a bottle of local state made(?) chilled rum (75cl, not a miniature). He drank a lot of rum on that holiday and left with a bit of a sore head. Apropos Daiquiri's, it's a bit frustrating that in the UK most folk only know the Daiquiri as an overpriced hideous fruit flavoured slush puppy made with the cheapest Bacardi sold by the pub or faux "American Diner". I like rum just as a straight up spirit, sometimes with a cube of ice, and I'm fortunate to live in a small village where each of the local pubs have a selection of at least 10-14 different rums of all ages for sale that aren't Bacardi etc. Thanks for showing how a proper Daiquiri is made.
First generation Cuban American here. Born and raised in Miami. I can't think of a single Cuban recipe that calls for lemon. We simply don't use lemon. We use limes instead. Many years ago, my mother, now 86 years old, made frozen daiquiris for her guests. She poured them in coups as well. Thanks for bringing back those wonderful memories.
My go-to white rum for a daiquiri is far-and-away Plantation 3-Star. I made one just last night with this recipe (I hasten to add this was an experiment and does not reflect my standard daiquiri): 1.5 oz - Plantation 3-Star White Rum 0.5 oz - Amaro Montenegro 0.25 oz - Passoa Passion Fruit Liqueur 0.75 oz - Persian Lime Juice 0.25 oz - Yuzu Juice 0.50 oz - Demerara Syrup My standard is: 2 oz - Plantation 3-Star White Rum 0.75 oz - Key Lime Juice 0.50 oz - Demerara Syrup
Personally, I prefer a dark rum because they can give a bit more flavour and there's more variety available here in Australia. Santiago de Cuba Anejo, Simple Syrup and Lime Juice for my preferred Daiquiri. I run about a 2:3 ratio of Simple to Juice and adjust the rum amount depending on how rum-forward a cocktail I feel like drinking at that particular time.
I like lime and add a simple syrup I make myself, though I gussy it up a bit with fresh ginger when I make the syrup. Not traditional but adds a little extra zing.
Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't like Bacardi. For years I thought I hated rum, but all anyone had was Bacardi. Now, I've found that I much prefer a demarrara or Jamaican pot still rum.
Hemingway’s favourite. I like mine with raw sugar syrup and 1 tiny drop of angostura. I honestly prefer Cachaca to almost any white rum I’ve tried. The ango smooths out something like Bacardi a bit at least though.
Flor de Cana 4 yr, El Dorado 3 yr, Wray and Nephew Overproof white, and Foursquare Probitas are my favorites. Mixing in a quality silver Rhum Agricole gives a nice change of pace.
I find that Bacardi grabs with a metallic finish every time. Tastes much how the GM forge smelled. Also it gives me an awful headache since I'm allergic to cane sugar.
I usually use my workhorse white rum: Havana Club 3 años. But as you said, it’s a matter of personal taste. Thanks for the video! Greetings from Argentina
You are speaking my language today. Wondering out loud... I have stopped using sugar, I wonder what coconut sugar would taste like in it? Yumm... time to recipe test.
i like capitain morgans white rum for any citrusy cocktails as its flavor profile pairs very well with citruses and imo that rum has a very good quality/price ratio, sorry for my english, im french canadian
@@kjronning1 uy ella la sabia. Igual me refería a que lo usan gralmente pa los copetes. Also si cachai q soy de Chile no tení pa que hacerte el greengou xoxo
I like it with diluted Wray and Nephew overproof. Jamaican rum funk with the clean lime taste is great. Very different from a more neutral white rum, though.
Get yourself some rum from Santiago de Cuba, it's so much flavorful than Cubay. Great recipe tho, remind me of my "fake" Caipirinha when I'm out of Cachaça.
Do you happen to recall where you got that shaker? It's my Platonic ideal of a Boston Shaker (the glass has a heavy rim) and I'd love to have one similar.
Make a Caipirinha. I think you'll like it. it's KINDA like this, but not really. use persian limes and syrup. ( for both daiquiris and capirinhas. )IMHO.
And if you really wanna go the extra mile, make what we call a Caipiroska in Brazil , same as a Caipirinha, but change the spirit to vodka instead of Cachaca.
You've already done me favourite cocktail (bees knees) but how about a champagne based episode (Inc my 3rd fave french 75) and my 2nd fave the clover club
Holy shit I remember that Bacardi ad somehow!! I seem to remember it was played A LOT which is probably why so many people in the comments remember it.
I LIKE to use Gomme in cocktails. Glenn, in an earlier video, points out that Gomme adds a 'mouthfeel' ingredient that is missing from plain simple syrup.
If I'm not mistaken you haven't made a hot cocktail yet. I thought you would for the holidays. However St. Patrick's Day is coming up. Maybe you could make an Irish coffee. I never buy Baileys. I make my own concoction. I use real dairy. I'm not a huge rum fan. I do like rum cake.
Since I had the opportunity to visit what Bacardi calls a distillery in Puerto Rico I stay away from that stuff. But for a recipe from a bar in Florida it might do the trick. Personally I‘d make a „papa doble“ as Ernest Hemingway drank it. Ron Santiago Anejo (made in the original distillery where Bacardi was founded) but 4oz, simple sirup, lime (the small green ones as they have in Cuba) and salt on the rim of the Glas.
My brother insisted that Havana Club was the only one to use. And I trusted my brother in all things so that’s what I used. And he wasn’t wrong. But… many other rums are very good for a Daiquiri. Bacardi isn’t one of them.
In Puerto Rico, we don't like Bacardi, this 's cheap Run for us, are you invite us to your house and serve Bacardi we never go back, for really god rum try "RON LLAVE" "DON Q" Nous pouvons obtenir ces rhums elle à Lyon, France
The daiquiri was one of Hemingway's favorite cocktails-- of course he never met an alcoholic beverage he wouldn't drink. Are you familiar with his take on the daquiri?

Hi @Claudiu K2 - I do a cocktail once a week, sorry that this brings you so much stress. If you don't want to watch the cocktail and beer brewing videos on Wednesdays; then don't? I still upload 3 other videos a week, that may be more to your liking. If you still want to unsubscribe, then I'll be sad to see you go, but I understand. In the end this channel is about my exploration of food and drink, I do this to please myself, and hopefully others who might like to watch. I definitely don't make RUclips videos for people who think they can tell me what to do.
You are speaking for yourself, not the "majority." I subscribe to watch Glen dissect and compare recipes, and to learn about food history. Cocktails, soups, or depression era cakes, it's all "cooking."

Well a rhum agricole is my preferred rum. More like a Cachaça
Plantation 3 stars

Hot damn, I remember that Bacardi ad! I wonder how many more ads I've seen that you shot! :)
You should do a whole episode on the variations of the lime-sugar-spirit drinks found south of the border (margarita, daiquiri, caipirinha, etc.).
Very interesting idea. Glenn has done several of these in various videos.
Would love to see you do a series or original tiki recipes! Navy grog, zombie, mai tai, Saturn etc
Alexander Allgood YES great idea! That would be great especially a mai tai. Never heard of a Saturn though.

Your videos are always a nice retreat after a day of work. I think I might mix a drink right now.
While I’m a Chivas guy this is a cocktail I really enjoy. I use simple syrup so I ensure the sugar is complete dissolved.
Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't like Bacardi. For years I thought I hated rum, but all anyone had was Bacardi.
Now, I've found that I much prefer a demarrara or Jamaican pot still rum.
Bacardi is garbage.
John Kelly haha IKR! My first taste of rum was as a teenager. Thought I didn’t like rum but turns out it’s Bacardi rum that I don’t like
We got that advert in the UK too. Not big rum drinkers but will give it a go.
I am macerating some hickory nuts for homemade nut liqueur... And because I am a horrible person, I now want to make a Hickory Daiquiri...
I think we now need a Cuba libre with the different cokes
Hemingway’s favourite. I like mine with raw sugar syrup and 1 tiny drop of angostura. I honestly prefer Cachaca to almost any white rum I’ve tried. The ango smooths out something like Bacardi a bit at least though.

I really enjoyed this video. Can’t wait to make this drink

It's like a mojito without the mint
You are speaking my language today. Wondering out loud... I have stopped using sugar, I wonder what coconut sugar would taste like in it? Yumm... time to recipe test.
I am old enough to actualy remember seeing this ad! lol tbh it made me try bacardi XD
I use dark rum, simple syrup and lemon. If I use lime, I add a bit more simple syrup.
i like capitain morgans white rum for any citrusy cocktails as its flavor profile pairs very well with citruses and imo that rum has a very good quality/price ratio, sorry for my english, im french canadian
I'm definitely going to try this when I get to the States this summer.
The interchangeability of the words "lemon" and "lime" in Spanish speaking countries is notorious.
Yeah. Here in Chile we call the common lime 'lima' and that little bartender lime we call 'limón de pica' which means literally 'cocktail lemon'.
We call them in Puerto Rico "Limon" and "Lima"
@@Elektr0hazard No. Limón de Pica are called that because they're famously grown in Pica, a town close to Iquique. So it literally means "Pica lemon".
@@kjronning1 uy ella la sabia. Igual me refería a que lo usan gralmente pa los copetes. Also si cachai q soy de Chile no tení pa que hacerte el greengou xoxo
@@Elektr0hazard estoy seguro que se hace el "greengou" porque no todos hablan español, es por educación
Wow... 😮 I just learned something new... 🍸🍋
Plantation 3 Star is always my go to.
I would be interested to see this and try it with a Jamaican rum, but I'm also more partial to aged (especially XO) rum.
I like it with diluted Wray and Nephew overproof. Jamaican rum funk with the clean lime taste is great. Very different from a more neutral white rum, though.
This is the exact recipe for Fresh Lime Soda where you switch Rum for Club Soda.
Get yourself some rum from Santiago de Cuba, it's so much flavorful than Cubay.
Great recipe tho, remind me of my "fake" Caipirinha when I'm out of Cachaça.
You're a cool guy. Thanks for the vids!
Is there something specfic about the bacardi rum you used? You said the bacardi rep recommended it but it just looks like regular bacardi superior
We call it "Limón de Pica" in Chile, limes are bigger for us.
Do you happen to recall where you got that shaker? It's my Platonic ideal of a Boston Shaker (the glass has a heavy rim) and I'd love to have one similar.

@@pablofreitasmachado8076 you can edit comments you've already posted
@@Realbenbudson Oh, i know. I just wanted to keep it separated, as an extra to the original comment, not an integral part of it.
@@pablofreitasmachado8076 a proper caipirinha uses real sugar and you keep the Limes in the drink when you drink it.
You've already done me favourite cocktail (bees knees) but how about a champagne based episode (Inc my 3rd fave french 75) and my 2nd fave the clover club
Yes I'm a gin fan
Persian lime, Cruzan Aged Light and demerara sugar syrup. Still fresh, but with some earthier, woodier notes.
Now I'm wondering if you shot the Desaranto ad with Natalie Brown
in Cuba and Latin America for the most part Key limes are just called Limon or Limon Verde to be specific that is the green one, not the Yellow Lemon.
The Limes in there are also a bit bigger than the ones I see in the states most times.
Holy shit I remember that Bacardi ad somehow!! I seem to remember it was played A LOT which is probably why so many people in the comments remember it.
How about using Gomme Syrup instead of the sugar?
I LIKE to use Gomme in cocktails. Glenn, in an earlier video, points out that Gomme adds a 'mouthfeel' ingredient that is missing from plain simple syrup.
@@DovidM Thanks, Dovid!

You guys in South Pickering?
I use persian limes and Pyrat rum.
Since I had the opportunity to visit what Bacardi calls a distillery in Puerto Rico I stay away from that stuff. But for a recipe from a bar in Florida it might do the trick.

I didn't think much of the Rusty Nail so I'll try this next :)
Ron Abuelo from Panamá 🇵🇦
That's small lime it still pretty common in Puerto Rico I think more or less the same availability as the "normal" lime
I use Bundaberg rum
What kind of tablet is that? It's so thin and very large!
Cuban here, in Cuba Lime(lima) doesn't exist, so everything you got on the table was a limón. That's why the translation says Limón.
Havana club
My brother insisted that Havana Club was the only one to use. And I trusted my brother in all things so that’s what I used. And he wasn’t wrong.
But… many other rums are very good for a Daiquiri.
Bacardi isn’t one of them.
I consider this series a public service;)
How do you say "banana daiquiri" in Spanish?
Daiquirí de plátano

Bacardi is on the bottom shelf at the liquor store I frequent. Only the garbage is at the bottom.

Not a Bacardi fan. Cubana fan.
Can you mix a drink with Jack Daniels please?
You should try to get your hand
s on ‘new coke’ from the 80s or try to make the recipe
there is no ice in your drink, you fail
Oh @Francois Trepanier Are you joking? Or are you Trolling?
You do realise that This style of Daiquiri is 'The Original' and that icy abomination sold at the chain restaurant out at the interstate is a later interpretation?
