Wacky Daiqu-y
Alright alright the name is a bit of a stretch, but it has a nice ring to it no? I would be remiss not to post something acknowledging it’s #nationalrumday, so what better way than with this wacky daiquiri that has 3 types of rum AND vodka! But wait, there’s more!
Seriously though (but not really), this one is a lot of fun. There are lovely herbal notes running through it from the chartreuse and verbena-infused vodka. These pair perfectly with the funk from the rhum and Smith & Cross. Add in a bit of tropical flair from the pineapple and coconut and you are Officially Wacky, my friend. The untested hack (Gold Star eligible if you report back) here if you don’t have verbena vodka is to sub with an herbal liqueur (and tone down the syrup).
Recipe
0.5oz rhum agricole (@rhumclementusa)

0.25oz coconut liqueur
0.75oz lime juice
0.5oz pineapple gum syrup (homemade)
