Two EASY 3 Ingredient Cocktails that Capture the Essence of the Tropics

Today we are going to continue the Tropical Escape series as promised. But I wanted to focus on cocktails with less ingredients than the traditional tiki drinks and ones that are more practical/less expensive for the home bartender. The Daiquiri and the Wray and Ting cocktails seemed to be a perfect fit for this concept.Yes, Im aware they are tiki adjacent at best but I think they capture the essence of the tropics in a very minimalist way.
Wray & Ting
1.5oz Wray & Nephew White Overproof Rum
2-4oz (or more) Ting Grapefruit Soda
1-2 Lime Wedges
Build the cocktail in a tall collins glass. Pour in rum and then fill with ice cubes. Top up with Ting Grapefruit Soda. Then cut a wedge of lime and squeeze the juice into the drinks and drop the spent lime wedge into the drink.
Daquiri
1.5oz of White or Lightly Aged Rum
1/2oz of Cane Sugar Syrup(2:1)
1oz of Lime Juice
Combine all ingredients in a shaker tin. Shake vigorously with two large ice cubes for approximately 20-30 seconds and double strain into a chilled coupe. As stated in the video, cane sugar syrup is different than simple syrup. You can also use any rum you like. Lighter rums will yield a more fresh and crisp drink. Darker and more aged rums will deliver a richer and more complex drink.
Cane Sugar Syrup
Heat up 1 cup of water in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Whisk in 2 cups of Organic Cane sugar. Whisk until it dissolves completely and remove from heat. Cool and pour into a bottle with a lid. Keep refrigerated for two weeks.

I bet it is. Im still getting used to the idea of using wray and nephew white as base spirit. Just saw a Jason Alexander cocktail in the Tiki Recipes Group with 3oz of Rum Fire lol I couldn't imagine

I am aware I spelled Daiquiri wrong in the video. If anyone has any feedback, please leave a comment! Thanks for the support on last video. Additionally, this video was filmed in 4k. If you want to view it that way you can change it in settings.
