Method

Chill your martini glass in the freezer or fill it with ice.

Take your Boston glass or small tin and, using your jigger to measure, add the Spirited Union Spice & Sea Salt Rum and smoked pineapple syrup to the shaker.

Using your Mexican elbow (or your hands) and your jigger to measure, squeeze 25ml of lime juice and add it to the shaker.

Fill your shaker with cubed ice and seal using your Boston tin or lid, before shaking vigorously for 10-15 seconds or until your tin is very cold.

Remove your glass from the freezer, or empty of ice if necessary.

Using your Hawthorne strainer and your fine strainer, double strain the cocktail into your chilled Martini glass.

Serve and enjoy!

History

This is our friend – and owner of the Spirited Union Distillery in Amsterdam – Ruben Maduro’s twist on the iconic classic. The addition of smoky grilled pineapple syrup to the salted rum lends a rich, deep earthy note that elevates the drink.

The Daiquiri is named after a mine in Cuba where the alleged creator of the cocktail was working at the time. Since the Basil and Honey Daiquiri is a TT Liquor creation, we are unaware of any myths or legends.. yet.

Whilst Jennings Cox certainly deserves the credit of being the first to write and publish a recipe for the Daiquiri, it’s likely that a simple mixture of rum, lime and sugar existed in some for or another long before Cox’s creation in the 1890’s.
