Winter Daiquiri


Drink: Winter Daiquiri
Establishment: Hale Pele
Location: Portland, Oregon
First Connoisseur: Cindy (Remake)

1 ½ ounces aged rum (We used St. James)
¾ ounce fresh squeezed lime juice
½ ounce vanilla syrup (simple syrup with 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla)
¼ ounce allspice dram (We used St. Elizabeth)


If you are feeling a bit tiki in the middle of winter (and it seems we are about this time every year since we posted the Maleku Mai Tai at this point last year), you might enjoy this little cocktail. A bit sour for my tastes, but if you love the taut pucker of the classic Daiquiri, this one’s for you.
