About the Daiquiri Slush
Named after the Daiquirí iron mines near Santiago de Cuba, where American engineer Jennings Cox is credited with mixing rum, lime and sugar around 1900. Havana's El Floridita later made the frozen version famous.
Missing something?
- No White Rum? Use Gold Rum (A little richer)
- No White Rum? Use Cachaça (Grassier and funkier)
- No Lime Juice? Use Lime (Squeeze fresh: 1 lime gives about 25 ml)
- No Lime Juice? Use Lemon Juice (Softer, different aroma)
- No Simple Syrup? Use Rich Simple Syrup (More concentrated, so use less)
- No Simple Syrup? Use Sugar (1 tsp sugar is about 7.5 ml syrup; stir until dissolved)
