Xamaica. But it's so hard not to go full tiki whenever I get started with a Daiquiri... because I can't choose a rum so I start mixing them and then, well, I have syrups and pimento dram right here...good grief.
It has become part of my routine to check your channel every Friday to see what I’ll be drinking over the weekend! Never disappointed, cheers Anders! 🍹
Love the reminder to relax on the strict ingredients/ratios/serving styles. Mixology/bartending is an art form... play with it, make it your own, and avoid the inflexible "has to be this way or it's wrong" of these things called cocktails. Nice work as always team & cheers to national daiquiri day! 🍹
I love a good daquiri. I use 'em for a couple things: first, just to make a really simple, easy, tasty drink. But I also like to make a quick daquiri with about every new bottle of rum just because it's a great way to try the rum and get a feel for how it mixes.
Best cocktail channel. I went to an upscale bar in Dallas on vacation and ordered a daiquiri. Bartender couldn’t make it. I’ll never forget that. Rum lime sugar.
I typically find myself subbing out white rum for an aged rum. 9/10 times aged rum just makes a drink better. Keep up the good work! Love watching these videos every Friday!
Thanks for the Daiquiri refresher and the dark rendition, always looking for great riffs on the classics. Great drink to discover and develop critical cocktail skills. I learned two key lessons from making the Daiquiri at home. 1. How to balance the sweet and sour notes for my palate (I lean slightly sweet) while maintaining the signature lime bite of the Daiquiri. 2. How to shake for proper chill, dilution, aeration, and integration.
The only grip I have with a daiquiri is how quickly they go down! For the classic, I LOVE using Plantation 3 Star rum. Just a hint of funk adds some complexity. Same rum I like to use in my mojitos for the same reason.
Another vote for Plantation 3 here. Made an enormous difference in the quality of my daiquiri. My ratios are sightly different but they work for me: 2 rum:1 lime:0.75 crystal syrup (1:1)
You are so right about the greatness and timelessness of this cocktail. Between light, dark, agricole and overproof rums, there are endless (and delicious) combinations to explore here. For a while, my go-to was 50/50 barbancourt 4-yr and wray & nephew, which was tasty and very potent. Also loved working smith & cross into various combos. Cheers!
Hey Anders, I love your take on this. I have actually read through some of the old Daiquiri recipes. Some did include modifiers (I.e. a dash of grenadine, or curaçao, or maraschino, or bitters). I really like the dash of grenadine included next to the simple syrup. I know it’s not the classic, but each to their own. Enjoy your weekend bro, I really appreciate your videos every week, I know it takes a lot of effort to make these. Cheers 🍹
Thank you so much, David! Really appreciate it. I'd love to try every variation of the daiquiri - it's such a good template. Enjoy your weekend with a great cocktail. Cheers!
I made a daquiri menu for an upcoming party with all sorts of variations. Some of the more interesting ones call for the Plantation Pineapple rum and use either the Luxardo Maraschino or falernum and allspice for the sugar source. So much fun!!
I make daiquiris as a template to try things, (bitters, syrups, etc.) so I've had quite a few daiquiris that were odd colors. Also, I use whatever rum I'm drinking that month, not always a Cuban style, so even then they're rarely bright white. My favorite uses Plantation 3 star, agave syrup, lime, and a fat dash of orange bitters.
I made a Grapefruit Daquiri in my last cocktail bar, used half simple syrup and half of my homemade grapefruit syrup. Turned out really well! Garnish was a dehydrated grapefruit slice
You just made me go into my kitchen and make one! I used a 3 year old Cuban rum (Havana Club) don't think you get it in the U.S. It's a light rum with a slight amber tint. I also used a brown sugar for my syrup. Tried it and with drink in hand I am watching the rest more of your channel...and I just love it! I had no idea that this drink originated in Cuba. Learn something new every day 🙂
We love your channel. Tomorrow we're having "Cocktails at the River" at our cabin. Hoping to make it a yearly or twice yearly event. Rum is the focus this time and daiquiris are on the menu. Keep up the good work!
Love it! We do lots of tiki drinks including daiquiris. I typically use a light rum like Real McCoy or Probitas but always supplement with a splash of Jamaican pot still to add that touch of earthiness and character. As I’ve said before, looking forward to you doing more tiki drinks, like jungle Bird, jet pilot, Saturn, navy grog, etc.
My mouth is salivating. I haven't had a daiquiri in so long. I'm always trying other drinks and trying to learn new flavors. Looks like it's always nice to go back to a simple and timeless drink. You're amazing. Enjoy your weekend and stay cool.... Away from the studio. 🤣🤣🤣
Just wanted to say that upon watching this video I tried a daiquiri with both dark rum and white rum and it was superb, thank you Anders for the idea. The richer bolder flavour of Ron Zacapa ambar 12 paired really well with the crisp smooth finish of Bacardi blanca
as a Louisianian, we love our relaxed liquor laws and i use the drive up daiquiri shop every weekend😂😂. it’s considered a closed container until you take the piece of tape off the lid of the to-go cup. also we can take home to-go drinks from the bar
So glad that you made a daiquiri Episode! It is my favourite Drink! Congrats to 300 k subscribers btw - you and az earned it! Superb Production quality!
I love Daiquiris and I do a dark one too. I use Myers dark rum, 2 oz., Sugar in the raw liquid syrup if you can find it. It's very thick and has a flavor that really enhancers the drink.Scant 3/4 oz and 3/4 oz lime juice. Try it, you'll love it.
6:42 - "If you like any rum, put it in a daquiri." That's probably the biggest takeaway from this entire video IMHO. :D It's basically just a rum sour so really any rum's great to put in it.
Thank you Andres! Another educational, entertaining, amazing video! I really hope that one the channel goes on the road to talk to distillers, mixologist..and visit lounges etc. Your style is so entertaining and enjoyable to watch. And when you and Az team up, it's sheer delight. Keep up the great work!
Jumped up and made one, dark, before the end of the video. I've been making daiquiris all my adult life, mostly with fruit, but back to the basics is awesome. Flor de Cana 7 year old rum and agave syrup instead of demarara because it's what I had on hand.
Very nice. I made mine tonight using homemade semi rich simple syrup (from your helpful video) and Cotton & Reed (DC distillery) white rum. Tasty! Thank you!
Happy Friday! I can't say I've seen the dark Daiquiri before. Going to have to try this one, especially since I recently made a fresh batch of demerara syrup. Great video as always! Thanks!
Had a 2:1 simple sugar already made (never goes bad that way, for those that don't know) - so I used your recipe but lowered the simple sugar between the 1/2 and 3/4 mark on my jigger - turned out perfect! Thanks for the vids!
Still not making any rum drinks and still have no rum bottles in the home bar. It all dates back to a college days, very long ago and very ill-advised "daquiri tasting" evening that evolved into a rum shots evening. Haunting memories, let me say. That being said, now older, wiser, and vastly more careful with my cocktails, I have been leaning towards perhaps trying rum again. If I do, it will be due, in rather large part, to your (and my Bronx pal Vino's) various rum cocktail videos, particularly this one and the "not a Painkiller" one (I must acknowledge I did enjoy a few of those way post-college while in the Caribbean, very near the Soggy Dollar Bar). So, thanks very much, again for your fun and informative videos, I think. :) Have a great weekend, both of you!
So just tonight was daiquiri night here using Appleton Estate 8 yr. Reserve, and a 1-to-1 demerara syrup. Much more robust than with Bacardi. Very reminiscent of my very first drink ever at Franklin Mortgage Co. here in Philly, where I was introduced to El Dorado 12 yr. (A great discovery for me, because my grandfather was born in Paramaribo.)
I am happy to find that others make a “Dark Daiquiri”, and I enjoy both variations. For the classic Daiquiri I use Bacardi Heritage which is 89 proof and distilled in Mexico. I also use a 2:1 simple syrup. For a Dark Daiquiri I have been using the Appleton 12 year or Matsuala Rum, my rich (Demerara) Syrup is also 2:1.
so simple, yet one of my favorites. i always do 2oz rum, 1oz simple syrup and 1oz lime juice. i find it very balanced and not really too sweet, but i’m curious to try your “lower” ratios 💪🏻 keep up the good work, love the channel!
Two fabulous methods of making delicious Daiquiris!! I also use The Real McCoy, aged 3 years, in the 1st Daiquiri that you are making here - I sub in The Real McCoy rums in a number of cocktails. Love their rums!! These are both so delicious Anders!! Love your videos and they often influence what I drink over the weekend!! The classic is my favourite!! Cheers and have a terrific weekend!! 🙂
Thanks, Christine! You've got great taste in rum! I'm curious what bottles you have available near you, and if they're different than what I can get my hands on. Hope you're enjoying the week! Cheers!
Haven't had an honest old school daiquiri in years - thanks for the reminder of just how good a simple drink like this can be! Sipping one right now, and it tastes like a vacation!
Anders, it has been a little over a year and a half since I started watching your videos, and my oh my how far have you come (over 300k now.) I just wanted to say thank you for everything you have taught me. Moreover, you inspired me to create my own cocktail Instagram. I posted my first picture a few days ago and the drink was a daiquiri (I guess great minds think alike). Anyway. thanks for everything and keep up the good work. Cheers!
Well this was a good reminder that I should make a daiquiri sometime soon, before my Cuban rum gets used up on in Cuba Libres (which are my current summertime go-to weekend sippin' drink)
I always do a 112 daquiri with 2:1 simple. I love that sweetness. I think I've explored every single rum I own in a daquiri, and they're all fantastic. It's such a good vehicle for rums =)
Thank you for this video! I do love to make complex and convoluted cocktails but some days you just want the simple perfection of a daiquiri. Have never tried a dark daiquiri but I just got some Hamilton and I'm excited to give it a try. Cheers.
My fav rum cocktail. I use angostura 5 year, plantation OD, some single cask rums from plantation, dooly 5 year, el dorado 5 (if it has to be sweet), prohibitas (or veritas in EU), 50ml plantation 3 star en 10ml hampden rum fire 😍 en small amount of velvet fallernum, equal parts PL 3 stars and rum bar gold, .... you can not screw up this cocktail if you use quality rum! Thx for the demerara syrup tip!
Hi Anders great video! I make my daiquiris with a split base of 1.5 oz Rhum Barbancourt and 0.5 oz Pussers Rum. For the sugar component, I use Liber & Co's gum syrup. It gives the drink overall a fantastic velvety mouthfeel.
I personally prefer 1:2:4 for lime:syrup:rum, but that's clearly a matter of taste. Thanks for another great video, Anders! EDIT: Oh, and I also use a 1:1 simple syrup so that definitely has something to say too.
So last Sunday I was making two Daquiries using Hamilton white Stache and the other was Plantation 3 star. .75 lime, .5 rich simple, 2 oz rum. Both were excellent, with Plantation being a bit sweeter. I also like using Kaniche XO with lemon instead of lime when I want a dark daquiry.
Amazing! I love them both. Luckily in my country I can get both Havana Club and Santiago de Cuba, so these are what I am using. Cheers, Anders. Your channel is awesome.
I love a good DAQ, I heard from a few friends that that the best thing to do with any new bottle of rum is to try it in one and see how it goes. great video anders cheers!
loving your videos. i use either a clairin haitian rum, better to make a nuclear daiuiri with chartreuse vert, velvet falernum and lime juice. or Veritas Barbados white rum 47%. i think you have a bottle on your back shelf. exactly the way you did the light daquiri. LOVE a daiquiri me. so cheers
Hey Anders, been watching now for a few months, made most of my fave cocktails from your recipes, or direct riffs of them. Made something today; 1 oz Hennessy, 1 oz Angostura Trinidad & Tobago 5 year, 1 oz Curaçao, 1 oz lime juice, and just shy of 3/4 oz of “your” grenadine. Wow! What did I do?!?!
Take a look at the Hemingway Daquiri. Basic daiquiri without simple sugar but with grapefruit juice and maraschino cherry liqueur added. Ernie drank his on the rocks.
Enjoy National Daiquiri Day, everyone! Which rum will you be using in your daiquiri?
Plantation. Just so happened to be teaching a Daiquiri class and picked up some bottles from Binnys. Love that this video popped up the night before!
Gonna try cruzan black strap with the simple syrup recipe right now
love supporting local, the white rum i keep ion my bar is Raptor rum made up in Alberta Canada :)
Xamaica. But it's so hard not to go full tiki whenever I get started with a Daiquiri... because I can't choose a rum so I start mixing them and then, well, I have syrups and pimento dram right here...good grief.
Thanks to you, El Dorado 3 year!
“If you like rum, put it in a daquiri” … words to live by.
and ideally sit beachside, your toes in soft sand and Palm trees whispering ….. you get the vibe.😅
It has become part of my routine to check your channel every Friday to see what I’ll be drinking over the weekend! Never disappointed, cheers Anders! 🍹
Here's to a great weekend - Cheers!
Better yet, subscribe and hit the notification bell and you will be notified when the videos go up! :)
Same here!!!! Anders has the magic recipe to get the weekend planned and going!!!! Way to go Anders!!!!!
Me too!, usually, an immediate trip to the liquor store soon after….
Love the reminder to relax on the strict ingredients/ratios/serving styles. Mixology/bartending is an art form... play with it, make it your own, and avoid the inflexible "has to be this way or it's wrong" of these things called cocktails. Nice work as always team & cheers to national daiquiri day! 🍹
EXACTLY!! Make it comfortable for your home, is what my auntie says when sharing any recipe.
Well, that's true, but at the same time is an election to be a classical bartender or not.
It's just a preference.
I love a good daquiri. I use 'em for a couple things: first, just to make a really simple, easy, tasty drink. But I also like to make a quick daquiri with about every new bottle of rum just because it's a great way to try the rum and get a feel for how it mixes.
5:12 in.. I immediately paused the video and went into the kitchen and made a daiquiri. Three o'clock est seems like daiquiri hour to me! 😉 So good!
Best cocktail channel. I went to an upscale bar in Dallas on vacation and ordered a daiquiri. Bartender couldn’t make it. I’ll never forget that. Rum lime sugar.
I have spent way too much money building my home bar based on Anders´ videos...love it, THANK YOU! best cocktail channel ever !
I can second this! 😂 Great work you two!
Same here. 😊
Me too 🤦♂️🤷♂️
I typically find myself subbing out white rum for an aged rum. 9/10 times aged rum just makes a drink better. Keep up the good work! Love watching these videos every Friday!

You're did it right! Such clean flavors make for the perfect drink to perfect your balance 👍 Cheers!
The only grip I have with a daiquiri is how quickly they go down! For the classic, I LOVE using Plantation 3 Star rum. Just a hint of funk adds some complexity. Same rum I like to use in my mojitos for the same reason.

From a fellow Chicagoan, thank you expanding my interest and trying new cocktails. Keep up it the great job
Wow. Love the Dark Daquiri. Rich and refreshing. Happy National Daquiri Day!

That would be a great video, make a variety of daiquiris and have az taste test and see which is the best.
'So I say this is a good drink for you to learn on'. Your approach is as refreshing as your drinks Anders!
I made a daquiri menu for an upcoming party with all sorts of variations. Some of the more interesting ones call for the Plantation Pineapple rum and use either the Luxardo Maraschino or falernum and allspice for the sugar source. So much fun!!

My favorite uses Plantation 3 star, agave syrup, lime, and a fat dash of orange bitters.
So many great quality rums out there, endless possibilities for Daiquiri flavor profiles.
Thumbs up, bro... taking the magic out of things without disenchanting them. Well done. Thumbs up!
I made a Grapefruit Daquiri in my last cocktail bar, used half simple syrup and half of my homemade grapefruit syrup. Turned out really well! Garnish was a dehydrated grapefruit slice
Oooh nice!
How did you make grapefruit syrup? I love grapefruit and for that reason make many zombies.

One of my absolute favorites to make at home. So easy and so refreshing
Making both tonight! Just cause..... and why not. Cheers!

'splash of Jamaican pot still' that's an idea! gonna try that Pete

Dark daiquiri with Appleton Estate 12 year rum has been my favorite drink this summer
Thanks Anders. I love your channel. You do such a good job.
I like plantation pineapple with demarara sugar syrup
5cl rum
3cl lime
3cl sugar
But as u said works great with any rum u like
It’s Friday !!! Wuhu time for a cocktail ! Cheers from Berlin Anders
Cheers! Enjoy the weekend!
it's good to drink rum cocktail this time of year. of course daiquiri is among them.
happy national daiquiri day!
Just wanted to say that upon watching this video I tried a daiquiri with both dark rum and white rum and it was superb, thank you Anders for the idea. The richer bolder flavour of Ron Zacapa ambar 12 paired really well with the crisp smooth finish of Bacardi blanca
Those are two ends of the spectrum of rum. I'll try it.
Love this channel always give me a good drink idea for the weekend. Thanks for the inspiration. Keep up the good work.
One of my favorite drink!! Cheers!
as a Louisianian, we love our relaxed liquor laws and i use the drive up daiquiri shop every weekend😂😂. it’s considered a closed container until you take the piece of tape off the lid of the to-go cup. also we can take home to-go drinks from the bar
Love the history part too! Keep up the awesome work!

Keep doing like this Anders, you're one of the nicest and funniest guys on RUclips!
Great video my friend. I agree it's a need-to-know drink. Interesting history as well.
Watching this sipping on a raspberry daiquiri made with demerara and dark rum. Feels good
Videos always on point. Been making both these for awhile and i still felt the need to watch the entire video. Keep up the great work!
Appreciate you watching - Cheers!
@@AndersErickson Cheers!
Nice🎉👏 you're always informative, even if I'm not gonna get "the booze" and try! Thanks for the "sips, tips and recipes"! 🔥
Thank you Andres! Another educational, entertaining, amazing video! I really hope that one the channel goes on the road to talk to distillers, mixologist..and visit lounges etc. Your style is so entertaining and enjoyable to watch. And when you and Az team up, it's sheer delight. Keep up the great work!
I love using an aged rum in my daiquiri. The added flavor makes them so much richer.
I love it with Smith and Cross or a split of Wray and Nephew Over proof and a standard silver rum.
Jumped up and made one, dark, before the end of the video. I've been making daiquiris all my adult life, mostly with fruit, but back to the basics is awesome. Flor de Cana 7 year old rum and agave syrup instead of demarara because it's what I had on hand.
My go to for a daiquiri is Veritas/Probitas (pending on location). That lil kick of Jamaican funk in the daiquiri just elevates it to another level
Great opening to this video. Well done
Very nice. I made mine tonight using homemade semi rich simple syrup (from your helpful video) and Cotton & Reed (DC distillery) white rum. Tasty! Thank you!
Happy Friday! I can't say I've seen the dark Daiquiri before. Going to have to try this one, especially since I recently made a fresh batch of demerara syrup. Great video as always! Thanks!
Enjoy it! Cheers, Sean!
Great comparison Anders, thy look great!!
Cheers, David!
I've been really loving Koloa Hawaiian rums. Their dark rum is simply magical.
Totally agree, just went to Kuai and fell in love with their rum. Same with their coffee rum
I unfortunately live in Ohio, and I cannot find it anywhere. Would love to try it out, hopefully I visit another state soon that carries it!
Hmm, I have to try it!
Had a 2:1 simple sugar already made (never goes bad that way, for those that don't know) - so I used your recipe but lowered the simple sugar between the 1/2 and 3/4 mark on my jigger - turned out perfect! Thanks for the vids!
When a guest ask me where i watch and learn new about bartending/mixing, i always tell them to see your channel 👌 gonna try that dark daiquiri.
Mmmmm a wonderful summer cocktail😋😁
Amazing channel. Has helped me make some great drinks :D
Yum ; ) A non slushy daiquiri... thanks Anders. And that's a lovely shirt.
Thanks for the advice regards trusting your pallet. I make it different the more drunk I get!!. Love the channel.
Still not making any rum drinks and still have no rum bottles in the home bar. It all dates back to a college days, very long ago and very ill-advised "daquiri tasting" evening that evolved into a rum shots evening. Haunting memories, let me say. That being said, now older, wiser, and vastly more careful with my cocktails, I have been leaning towards perhaps trying rum again. If I do, it will be due, in rather large part, to your (and my Bronx pal Vino's) various rum cocktail videos, particularly this one and the "not a Painkiller" one (I must acknowledge I did enjoy a few of those way post-college while in the Caribbean, very near the Soggy Dollar Bar). So, thanks very much, again for your fun and informative videos, I think. :) Have a great weekend, both of you!
Fully support you revisiting the world of rum, and I'm sure Vino would agree! Appreciate the comment - Cheers!
hey Anders! love this drink was the first drink I ever learned to make
Good one to start with! Cheers!
So just tonight was daiquiri night here using Appleton Estate 8 yr. Reserve, and a 1-to-1 demerara syrup. Much more robust than with Bacardi. Very reminiscent of my very first drink ever at Franklin Mortgage Co. here in Philly, where I was introduced to El Dorado 12 yr. (A great discovery for me, because my grandfather was born in Paramaribo.)
I am happy to find that others make a “Dark Daiquiri”, and I enjoy both variations. For the classic Daiquiri I use Bacardi Heritage which is 89 proof and distilled in Mexico. I also use a 2:1 simple syrup. For a Dark Daiquiri I have been using the Appleton 12 year or Matsuala Rum, my rich (Demerara) Syrup is also 2:1.
so simple, yet one of my favorites. i always do 2oz rum, 1oz simple syrup and 1oz lime juice. i find it very balanced and not really too sweet, but i’m curious to try your “lower” ratios 💪🏻 keep up the good work, love the channel!
Two fabulous methods of making delicious Daiquiris!! I also use The Real McCoy, aged 3 years, in the 1st Daiquiri that you are making here - I sub in The Real McCoy rums in a number of cocktails. Love their rums!! These are both so delicious Anders!! Love your videos and they often influence what I drink over the weekend!! The classic is my favourite!! Cheers and have a terrific weekend!! 🙂
Thanks, Christine! You've got great taste in rum! I'm curious what bottles you have available near you, and if they're different than what I can get my hands on. Hope you're enjoying the week! Cheers!
This is fun. I might have to try it. Not a huge fan of rum but then again I have only tried a few.
Amazing as always. Please your take on the Hemingway Daiquiri!!
Haven't had an honest old school daiquiri in years - thanks for the reminder of just how good a simple drink like this can be! Sipping one right now, and it tastes like a vacation!
I like El Dorado 5 Year and Demarara simple in my Daiquiri. I just love those dark molassesy flavors
The dark recipe is fantastic. Tastes like ice cream. Thank you for the recipe.
Loving all the tiki videos lately. The best white rum I’ve had in one is Probitas.
Anders, it has been a little over a year and a half since I started watching your videos, and my oh my how far have you come (over 300k now.) I just wanted to say thank you for everything you have taught me. Moreover, you inspired me to create my own cocktail Instagram. I posted my first picture a few days ago and the drink was a daiquiri (I guess great minds think alike). Anyway. thanks for everything and keep up the good work. Cheers!
Daiquiri is in my top five and my girlfriend's number 1! I use 1.5oz of Plantation white rum and a half oz of Wray & Nephew overproof for some FUNK.
Just found your channel and I love it! Subscribed immediately!
Well this was a good reminder that I should make a daiquiri sometime soon, before my Cuban rum gets used up on in Cuba Libres (which are my current summertime go-to weekend sippin' drink)
I always do a 112 daquiri with 2:1 simple. I love that sweetness. I think I've explored every single rum I own in a daquiri, and they're all fantastic. It's such a good vehicle for rums =)
I use light rum, but will try dark rum, I love the sourness from the lemon or lime!!
Thank you for this video! I do love to make complex and convoluted cocktails but some days you just want the simple perfection of a daiquiri. Have never tried a dark daiquiri but I just got some Hamilton and I'm excited to give it a try. Cheers.
My fav rum cocktail. I use angostura 5 year, plantation OD, some single cask rums from plantation, dooly 5 year, el dorado 5 (if it has to be sweet), prohibitas (or veritas in EU), 50ml plantation 3 star en 10ml hampden rum fire 😍 en small amount of velvet fallernum, equal parts PL 3 stars and rum bar gold, .... you can not screw up this cocktail if you use quality rum!
Thx for the demerara syrup tip!
Hi Anders great video! I make my daiquiris with a split base of 1.5 oz Rhum Barbancourt and 0.5 oz Pussers Rum. For the sugar component, I use Liber & Co's gum syrup. It gives the drink overall a fantastic velvety mouthfeel.
I personally prefer 1:2:4 for lime:syrup:rum, but that's clearly a matter of taste. Thanks for another great video, Anders!
EDIT: Oh, and I also use a 1:1 simple syrup so that definitely has something to say too.
I went with the Havana Club Añejo Blanco and Añejo Clásico for my spirit of choice. Keep doing great content Anders. Look forward to it on Friday's
Did my dark daiquiri with Appleton Estate Signature....WOW is that good!!!!
I've been making my daiquiris lately with Rhum Barbancourt Haitian White!! Light and refreshing. If I want a "rummy" rum, my go to is Probitas!
The Daiquiri...in is elegant simplicity it is the best cocktail there is. hands down. Also, I generally use Havanna 3 year :)
The daiquiri, my all time favorite drink. I always make it with a Jamaican pot still and a rich Demerara
Jesus, that classic recipe is absolute gold.
So last Sunday I was making two Daquiries using Hamilton white Stache and the other was Plantation 3 star. .75 lime, .5 rich simple, 2 oz rum. Both were excellent, with Plantation being a bit sweeter. I also like using Kaniche XO with lemon instead of lime when I want a dark daquiry.
Amazing! I love them both. Luckily in my country I can get both Havana Club and Santiago de Cuba, so these are what I am using. Cheers, Anders. Your channel is awesome.
Love it!!
TO THE BAR! 🥃
Here we are at another Friday!
Those three words put a big smile on my face
I love a good DAQ, I heard from a few friends that that the best thing to do with any new bottle of rum is to try it in one and see how it goes.
great video anders cheers!
loving your videos. i use either a clairin haitian rum, better to make a nuclear daiuiri with chartreuse vert, velvet falernum and lime juice.
or Veritas Barbados white rum 47%. i think you have a bottle on your back shelf. exactly the way you did the light daquiri. LOVE a daiquiri me. so cheers
Hey Anders, been watching now for a few months, made most of my fave cocktails from your recipes, or direct riffs of them. Made something today; 1 oz Hennessy, 1 oz Angostura Trinidad & Tobago 5 year, 1 oz Curaçao, 1 oz lime juice, and just shy of 3/4 oz of “your” grenadine. Wow! What did I do?!?!
Take a look at the Hemingway Daquiri. Basic daiquiri without simple sugar but with grapefruit juice and maraschino cherry liqueur added. Ernie drank his on the rocks.
I saw your thumbnail and it was like all right one of my favorite drinks I'm watching.. ... 👀
