From the OG to all the flavours of the tropical rainbow, meet the Daiquiri family.
One of the most important cocktails for newbie bartenders to master is the punchy three-ingredient Daiquiri. It’s a cocktail that’s fairly underestimated, but it’s a true test of a bartender’s abilities and a gold standard across bars everywhere. The Daiquiri is not only judged for its balance of sweet, sour and strong (alcohol), but also for its violent, quick and masterful shake that leaves it with its unique snow-like shards of ice and subtle effervescence.
The Daiquiri is a true marker of bartending capability and a much-loved favourite among hospo peeps (Snaiquiris, anyone?). And while the OG Daiquiri reigns supreme, it doesn’t mean you can’t get the same punchy, balanced cocktails across the rest of the Daiquiri family. So, let us introduce you to the fam.
