My favorite variations of the daiquiri are the Hemingway, using maraschino liqueur from Croatia, and the Epestone Daiquiri with creme de cassis and a few dashes of Angostura bitters! Great video, definitely will make some of these. Greetings from Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Leandro, I just invented my first cocktail, and it came out so delicious I have to share it here. I call it a pineapple-coconut daiquiri. One ounce lime juice, 3/4 oz. simple syrup, 2 1/2 oz Plantation pineapple rum, 1/4 oz Koloa coconut rum. Hope you try it.
These all look fantastic. I am so glad I found your channel. Just venturing into the world of "craft cocktails" and your information has really helped me to learn. Thanks.
These Daiquiri variations all look and sound spectacular and so delicious Leondro! A couple really stand out as cocktails that I need to try right away! Very interesting to learn about Hemmingway's hemachromotosis. I didn't know Hemmingway suffered from that disease. That condition and Diabetes should have kept Hemmingway away from alcohol. That wouldn't have helped his health at all. Yikes. You are so superb at making cocktails! Love them! Thanks so much Leondro!! Cheers!! 🙂
A twist on daiquiri I really love is the "Periodista" (journalist) , I don't remember much of its history but basically u switch the maraschino from the classic floridita with an apricot brandy and the result is... outstanding. The barman who introduced me to that suggested to use lemon instead of lime, for additional balance coming from the more acid lemon. I have tried it both ways: in my opinion it works either way. He sometimes did it without sugar sometimes with a teaspoon of simple syrup. I hope you might like it :)
One of my favs is the Kapu Kai from Beachbum Berry: 3/4oz lime juce 3/4oz simple syrup (I always use a 2:1 ratio) 1.5oz 151 Demerara rum It's strong but sweet and delicious!
All killer no filler …….. 🎉🎉I am going to make all of these…. They look great…. Alway love how you break down the flavor profile of the different drinks!!!!!🥃🥃🥃cheers!!
you should really try the 'Dry Daiquiri' One of my favorites; 1.25oz White Rum .25oz Campari .5oz Lime Juice .5oz Simple Syrup 1 dash of Passion Fruit Syrup Garnish with flamed orange twist
I came here to ask this same question. It's got gin, it's got lime cordial, it's stirred (which people who make gimlets with cordial rather than juice will often do). It feels sorta sacrilegious to call it a daiquiri.
@@kidyuki1 if you make it with lime cordial yes, you tend to stir it, but the most used way nowadays is with fresh lime juice and symple syrup (none of the bars I usually drink in has lime cordial), so you shake it. It's strange also because it has vermouth
I was out of simple syrup (and too lazy to make some) so I used 100% maple syrup instead and accidentally made a delicious fall daiquiri, a maple daiquiri if you will. Highly recommend
Hey Leandro, for the stirred daiquiri I didn't have the Lo-Fi sweet vermouth (as might have been expected) and tried subbing it with a 50/50 split of Antica Formula and Dolin Blanc. I rather liked the result but don't know whether I'm enough in the ballpark with my substitution to know if I'm really tasting the drink properly. Thoughts?
Holy shit, have you ever tried the Benjamin Barker daiquiri from the Death & Co. book? That one's pretty fantastic. Very interesting implementing Campari into a daiquiri.
One of my favorites too. I cut back the Campari from the 1/2 oz listed in the Death & Co. cocktail book to 1/4 oz to balance out the drink to my taste.
My favorites are the: Mister Curtis: 1 1/4 oz El Dorado 12 3/4 oz Plantation OFTD 1 oz chai syrup 3/4 oz lime juice shake, strain over small ice sphere in 6oz wine glass, garnish with lime twist Barbados Cocktail: 1 1/2 oz dark rum 1 oz velvet falernum 3/4 oz lime juice shake, strain into coupe Cienfuegos Shake: gently muddle 8 mint leaves in 3/4 oz simple syrup and let sit for 5 mins minimum, then add: 2 oz El Dorado 12 or 15 1/2 oz Benedictine 1 oz lime juice shake, double strain into coupe Enjoy guys! You won't be disappointed!
the reason it's a daiquiri and not a gimlet is because it's an ad for Lo Fi Sweet Vermouth and he couldn't figure out a way to incorporate it into his Daiquiri video.
Nah it ain’t an ad it’s a friend of mine’s creation and I love it. In reality it’s a bastard child between a daiquiri and a martini and a gimlet. Try doing this same drink with white rum and a lil gin also it’s amazing.
A friendly reminder, maybe next time you want to not stacking the shaker in that way? And just line them up on cutting board, small tin near you? So you can just pick it up and turn it over to standing in front of you!!😂🎉🎉
Great vid. One of my fave Daqs is the Royal Daquiri, which I got from this channel so thanks very much! 2oz rum (I use Havana Club 3yr or Appleton Estate signature if I'm feeling funky), 1oz lime juice, 3/4oz simple syrup, and add a grapefruit peel to the shaker. It's such a small change but makes such a difference having the fragrant oils from the grapefruit peel in the drink, gives it a moreish tanginess.
Well, I’m obviously late to the party. I was looking for some fresh inspiration for summer drinks and I want to say- I just made your Strawberry Pineapple Daiquiri recipe and it’s a winner! I didn’t have the specific white rum you had, so I tried it with a new brand I recently tried: Casa de Magdalena from Guatemala. Makes for a great drink! Thank you.
Have to laugh since I just watched a bunch of pretentious, hipster bartenders talking about how their "interview drink" is the traditional Daiquiri. One guy actually said, that the drink could be made perfectly but if the "energy" wasn't right you wouldn't get hired. I mean, COME ON! - you put the three ingredients together, shake, pour and - voila! - a Daiquiri appears. Also, many of the bartender commenters said that no one has ever ordered a Daiquiri from them. None of my drinking friends has ever ordered one either, so not sure where exactly this is as popular as you say. Anyway, cheers from Indiana!
Great video! A great variation I've been making is a Pineapple Daiquiri with 2 oz. Plantation Pineapple Rum, 1 oz. Lime Juice and 3/4 oz. Simple syrup. Great summer cocktail!
Do you have any recommendations for a pineapple juice substitute? I'm allergic to pineapple but love tropical drinks - I haven't been able to find anything that replaces it very well. Thanks! Heather
A distillery in Quebec called Rosemont makes a good pineapple rum and it makes a great pineapple daiquiri. I just don't know if it's as good as Stiggins Fancy though.
Sounds like the daiquiri is the bar tending equivalent of the omelette. Something seemingly simple, delicious, but tricky making it a good test of the person who serves it.
You mention a cocktail with hints of tiki, and though you haven't done one in awhile, a tiki bar in Honolulu called Skull and Crown Trading Co. does really modern tiki drinks that are delicious, their menu should be available online
Thank Leandro. BTW, in your show comments recipe you list the amount of lime juice used in the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club daiquiri as 3/4 oz while in the video you say and list 1/2 oz lime juice.
Ok so the original spec is 3/4pm but honestly it doesn’t balance well with the liqueurs that make up the sugar content so I like to dial down to a fat 1/2oz try both ways and pick what you prefer. Cheers!
Leandro, These all look great form the rums to the ratios. The recipes each have something special about them.
Constantly crushing it, Leandro! Best cocktail channel in the game!

You always know when he REALLY likes a drink!😂
I’m going to be having some fun with these daiquiri’s, thank you as always!

Gonna have to try this
These all look fantastic. I am so glad I found your channel. Just venturing into the world of "craft cocktails" and your information has really helped me to learn. Thanks.
Awesome! Thanks for the support!
my favorite daq recipe is:
2.5oz real mccoy 3
1oz fresh lime
1oz 2:1 simple
shake hard over lots of ice and double strain up

Royal Bermuda Yacht Club is the absolute best! Love it!

1.5oz 151 Demerara rum
It's strong but sweet and delicious!
Right before I watched this I was thinking "Damn I should make a Daquri with some Banana and Pineapple" So Great video with great timing!
All killer no filler …….. 🎉🎉I am going to make all of these…. They look great…. Alway love how you break down the flavor profile of the different drinks!!!!!🥃🥃🥃cheers!!
you should really try the 'Dry Daiquiri' One of my favorites;
1.25oz White Rum
.25oz Campari
.5oz Lime Juice
.5oz Simple Syrup
1 dash of Passion Fruit Syrup
Garnish with flamed orange twist
That sounds really good - looking forward to taste how the Campari sits in this!!!
I'm willing to try any of these. The stirred daiquiri and the strawberry-pineapple daiquiri are calling my name!
Why is the stirred daiquiri not called a gimlet?
A gimlet is made with Gin. And it's shaken aswell, like almost every cocktail that contains a fresh squeezed juice
A gimlet typically would not have vermouth, it would be only gin & lime cordial
I came here to ask this same question. It's got gin, it's got lime cordial, it's stirred (which people who make gimlets with cordial rather than juice will often do). It feels sorta sacrilegious to call it a daiquiri.
@@kidyuki1 if you make it with lime cordial yes, you tend to stir it, but the most used way nowadays is with fresh lime juice and symple syrup (none of the bars I usually drink in has lime cordial), so you shake it. It's strange also because it has vermouth
That was my thought too. It looked like a riff on a gimlet more than a daiquiri variant. Still looked tasty though.
3:22 Lol, we love you Leandro
I can’t wait to try these!
These look good! I will try them.
What glasses are you using for the Hemmingway Daiquri please ?
I was out of simple syrup (and too lazy to make some) so I used 100% maple syrup instead and accidentally made a delicious fall daiquiri, a maple daiquiri if you will. Highly recommend
Hey Leandro, for the stirred daiquiri I didn't have the Lo-Fi sweet vermouth (as might have been expected) and tried subbing it with a 50/50 split of Antica Formula and Dolin Blanc. I rather liked the result but don't know whether I'm enough in the ballpark with my substitution to know if I'm really tasting the drink properly. Thoughts?
I counted 76 stirs on that stirred daiquiri
Holy shit, have you ever tried the Benjamin Barker daiquiri from the Death & Co. book? That one's pretty fantastic. Very interesting implementing Campari into a daiquiri.
One of my favorites too. I cut back the Campari from the 1/2 oz listed in the Death & Co. cocktail book to 1/4 oz to balance out the drink to my taste.
Love this rum worm hole we’re going down!
Have you ever heard of or made the Danube cocktail? I had it years ago at the Danube in NYC. Still trying to find the recipe.
Did the description leave out the stirred daquiri?
My favorites are the:
Mister Curtis:
1 1/4 oz El Dorado 12
3/4 oz Plantation OFTD
1 oz chai syrup
3/4 oz lime juice
shake, strain over small ice sphere in 6oz wine glass, garnish with lime twist
Barbados Cocktail:
1 1/2 oz dark rum
1 oz velvet falernum
3/4 oz lime juice
shake, strain into coupe
Cienfuegos Shake:
gently muddle 8 mint leaves in 3/4 oz simple syrup and let sit for 5 mins minimum, then add:
2 oz El Dorado 12 or 15
1/2 oz Benedictine
1 oz lime juice
shake, double strain into coupe
Enjoy guys! You won't be disappointed!
I just so happen to have some chai syrup I need to finish off. I'll have to give the Mister Curtis a shot!
No queens park super cocktail???
Yes, First! Keep the rum theme going! LOL
Nope
Yeah no lol. But we are glad you're here
What makes the Stirred Daiquiri a daiquiri and not a gimlet?
the reason it's a daiquiri and not a gimlet is because it's an ad for Lo Fi Sweet Vermouth and he couldn't figure out a way to incorporate it into his Daiquiri video.
😂

Does the dehydrated lime add any flavor or is it for aesthetics?
Look only
It doesn't add flavour but it smells different from a fresh lime and it is more fragrant so it does add something to the drink.
It adds aroma which in turn adds a little twinge of flavor
🍸🍹🎉
So close to my name ☠
A friendly reminder, maybe next time you want to not stacking the shaker in that way? And just line them up on cutting board, small tin near you? So you can just pick it up and turn it over to standing in front of you!!😂🎉🎉
I honestly can't tell if you're trolling or just bad at pronunciation haha. Maraschino? Giffard? Saison?!?
🤔
hemmingway needed to make regular blood donations ...
as this will both lower your blood iron ...
and will lower the viscosity of your blood ...
🩸
Dying to try the parasol but the stirred daiquiri being called a daiquiri when it’s made with gin is strange to me but I respect it
It’s like a gimlet/daiquiri really
@@TheEducatedBarfly You cheated. It was totally a gimlet :D

@@luchinooliveros2469 You're right, my mistake... Regal Daiquiri
I was not aware that Hemingway had hemochromatosis.. One more thing we have in common. Cool vid.
Looks tasty! My 2cents, if you don't like maraschino liquor, and I am one, use 2 dashes of angostura bitters.
Well, I’m obviously late to the party. I was looking for some fresh inspiration for summer drinks and I want to say- I just made your Strawberry Pineapple Daiquiri recipe and it’s a winner!

I never add the recipe qty of Maraschino to my daiquiris. I love the flavor but it can completely dominate the drink.
Try 2 dashes of angostura bitters instead.
You forgot to post the Stirred Daiquiri!!!
I won't ask where you got Cuban rum haha
The Royal Yacht looks more like a Mai Tai.
Great video! A great variation I've been making is a Pineapple Daiquiri with 2 oz. Plantation Pineapple Rum, 1 oz. Lime Juice and 3/4 oz. Simple syrup. Great summer cocktail!
I love doing this with vanilla syrup, they’re delicious!
Barbarian!
Me too!
Ah, drinking at eight in the morning.
Pregaming the afternoon

Man. These are great Leandro. Thanks! Need to order some good banana liqueur and get some more falernum. I think a daiquiri party needs to happen.
There's no recipe for the stirred daiquiri in the description.
Perfect timing for Daiquiri recipes, I just got more Plantation Rum!
I tried a lavender daiquiri on a cruise and I loved it. White rum, lime juice and lavender syrup. Yum
I'm definitely going to try one or more of these this evening. Fun video thanks!
Great riffs on a classic like the daiquiri is always appreciated.
Thank Leandro.

Skip all the blah blah talky stuff 😂
LEANDRO!!! I love a good Daq, so this is perfect!!! I need to try a gin version. That def sounds fun!!!! Great video!!! CHEERS!!!
