About the Don's Special Daiquiri
Donn Beach, founder of Don the Beachcomber, built this daiquiri around two rums, passion fruit and honey. It follows his habit of layering several rums to get a flavour no single bottle could give.
Missing something?
- No Gold Rum? Use Aged Rum (Deeper and oakier)
- No Gold Rum? Use Dark Rum (Heavier molasses notes)
- No White Rum? Use Gold Rum (A little richer)
- No White Rum? Use Cachaça (Grassier and funkier)
- No Passion Fruit Syrup? Use Passion Fruit Purée (Tarter; add a little simple syrup)
- No Passion Fruit Syrup? Use Fassionola (Adds berry and pineapple notes alongside passion fruit)
- No Lime Juice? Use Lime (Squeeze fresh: 1 lime gives about 25 ml)
- No Lime Juice? Use Lemon Juice (Softer, different aroma)
- No Honey Syrup? Use Honey (Mix with the same amount of warm water first)
- No Honey Syrup? Use Agave Syrup (Cleaner and less floral)
