THE DAIQUIRI - a must know rum drink!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 сер 2024
- We're coming up on National Daiquiri Day! Had no idea that was a thing, but I'll take any excuse to make this cocktail! The daiquiri follows a simple, yet perfect drink template - rum, sugar, and lime. Balanced just right, this drink is unforgettable! I'll be making it two ways - the classic "light" version, and a fuller-flavored "dark" rendition. And because balance in a daiquiri is crucial, I'll show you how I adjust the ratios ever so slightly to reach that perfect marriage of sweet and tart. There's no better cocktail to elevate your favorite bottle of rum! Cheers!

Enjoy National Daiquiri Day, everyone! Which rum will you be using in your daiquiri?
Plantation. Just so happened to be teaching a Daiquiri class and picked up some bottles from Binnys. Love that this video popped up the night before!
Gonna try cruzan black strap with the simple syrup recipe right now
love supporting local, the white rum i keep ion my bar is Raptor rum made up in Alberta Canada :)
Xamaica. But it's so hard not to go full tiki whenever I get started with a Daiquiri... because I can't choose a rum so I start mixing them and then, well, I have syrups and pimento dram right here...good grief.
Thanks to you, El Dorado 3 year!
“If you like rum, put it in a daquiri” … words to live by.
and ideally sit beachside, your toes in soft sand and Palm trees whispering ….. you get the vibe.😅
It has become part of my routine to check your channel every Friday to see what I’ll be drinking over the weekend! Never disappointed, cheers Anders! 🍹
Here's to a great weekend - Cheers!
Better yet, subscribe and hit the notification bell and you will be notified when the videos go up! :)
Same here!!!! Anders has the magic recipe to get the weekend planned and going!!!! Way to go Anders!!!!!
Me too!, usually, an immediate trip to the liquor store soon after….
Love the reminder to relax on the strict ingredients/ratios/serving styles. Mixology/bartending is an art form... play with it, make it your own, and avoid the inflexible "has to be this way or it's wrong" of these things called cocktails. Nice work as always team & cheers to national daiquiri day! 🍹
EXACTLY!! Make it comfortable for your home, is what my auntie says when sharing any recipe.
Well, that's true, but at the same time is an election to be a classical bartender or not.
It's just a preference.
I love a good daquiri. I use 'em for a couple things: first, just to make a really simple, easy, tasty drink. But I also like to make a quick daquiri with about every new bottle of rum just because it's a great way to try the rum and get a feel for how it mixes.
I have spent way too much money building my home bar based on Anders´ videos...love it, THANK YOU! best cocktail channel ever !
I can second this! 😂 Great work you two!
Same here. 😊
The only grip I have with a daiquiri is how quickly they go down! For the classic, I LOVE using Plantation 3 Star rum. Just a hint of funk adds some complexity. Same rum I like to use in my mojitos for the same reason.
Another vote for Plantation 3 here. Made an enormous difference in the quality of my daiquiri. My ratios are sightly different but they work for me: 2 rum:1 lime:0.75 crystal syrup (1:1)
5:12 in.. I immediately paused the video and went into the kitchen and made a daiquiri. Three o'clock est seems like daiquiri hour to me! 😉 So good!
I typically find myself subbing out white rum for an aged rum. 9/10 times aged rum just makes a drink better. Keep up the good work! Love watching these videos every Friday!
I make daiquiris as a template to try things, (bitters, syrups, etc.) so I've had quite a few daiquiris that were odd colors. Also, I use whatever rum I'm drinking that month, not always a Cuban style, so even then they're rarely bright white.
My favorite uses Plantation 3 star, agave syrup, lime, and a fat dash of orange bitters.
I made a daquiri menu for an upcoming party with all sorts of variations. Some of the more interesting ones call for the Plantation Pineapple rum and use either the Luxardo Maraschino or falernum and allspice for the sugar source. So much fun!!
Sounds delicious!!
Thanks for the Daiquiri refresher and the dark rendition, always looking for great riffs on the classics. Great drink to discover and develop critical cocktail skills. I learned two key lessons from making the Daiquiri at home. 1. How to balance the sweet and sour notes for my palate (I lean slightly sweet) while maintaining the signature lime bite of the Daiquiri. 2. How to shake for proper chill, dilution, aeration, and integration.
You're did it right! Such clean flavors make for the perfect drink to perfect your balance 👍 Cheers!
Hey Anders, I love your take on this. I have actually read through some of the old Daiquiri recipes. Some did include modifiers (I.e. a dash of grenadine, or curaçao, or maraschino, or bitters). I really like the dash of grenadine included next to the simple syrup. I know it’s not the classic, but each to their own. Enjoy your weekend bro, I really appreciate your videos every week, I know it takes a lot of effort to make these. Cheers 🍹
Thank you so much, David! Really appreciate it. I'd love to try every variation of the daiquiri - it's such a good template. Enjoy your weekend with a great cocktail. Cheers!
That would be a great video, make a variety of daiquiris and have az taste test and see which is the best.
Staying with the template but mixing different rums and syrups is very fun IMO
And, since you actually have a white rum I personally also really like and use please try this riff:
Use orgeat as the sugar together with the Real McCoy rum and you got a daiquiri with lovely marzipan vibes!
I made a Grapefruit Daquiri in my last cocktail bar, used half simple syrup and half of my homemade grapefruit syrup. Turned out really well! Garnish was a dehydrated grapefruit slice
Oooh nice!
How did you make grapefruit syrup? I love grapefruit and for that reason make many zombies.
Best cocktail channel. I went to an upscale bar in Dallas on vacation and ordered a daiquiri. Bartender couldn’t make it. I’ll never forget that. Rum lime sugar.
I love Daiquiris and I do a dark one too. I use Myers dark rum, 2 oz., Sugar in the raw liquid syrup if you can find it. It's very thick and has a flavor that really enhancers the drink.Scant 3/4 oz and 3/4 oz lime juice. Try it, you'll love it.
I’ve been making my daiquiris with Rhum agricole blanc and Clairin and they are soooo good.
Love it! We do lots of tiki drinks including daiquiris. I typically use a light rum like Real McCoy or Probitas but always supplement with a splash of Jamaican pot still to add that touch of earthiness and character.
As I’ve said before, looking forward to you doing more tiki drinks, like jungle Bird, jet pilot, Saturn, navy grog, etc.
'splash of Jamaican pot still' that's an idea! gonna try that Pete
I am happy to find that others make a “Dark Daiquiri”, and I enjoy both variations. For the classic Daiquiri I use Bacardi Heritage which is 89 proof and distilled in Mexico. I also use a 2:1 simple syrup. For a Dark Daiquiri I have been using the Appleton 12 year or Matsuala Rum, my rich (Demerara) Syrup is also 2:1.
You are so right about the greatness and timelessness of this cocktail. Between light, dark, agricole and overproof rums, there are endless (and delicious) combinations to explore here. For a while, my go-to was 50/50 barbancourt 4-yr and wray & nephew, which was tasty and very potent. Also loved working smith & cross into various combos. Cheers!
We love your channel. Tomorrow we're having "Cocktails at the River" at our cabin. Hoping to make it a yearly or twice yearly event. Rum is the focus this time and daiquiris are on the menu. Keep up the good work!
so simple, yet one of my favorites. i always do 2oz rum, 1oz simple syrup and 1oz lime juice. i find it very balanced and not really too sweet, but i’m curious to try your “lower” ratios 💪🏻 keep up the good work, love the channel!
I've been really loving Koloa Hawaiian rums. Their dark rum is simply magical.
Totally agree, just went to Kuai and fell in love with their rum. Same with their coffee rum
I unfortunately live in Ohio, and I cannot find it anywhere. Would love to try it out, hopefully I visit another state soon that carries it!
Hmm, I have to try it!
One of my favorite drinks - Gin, lime juice, semi-rich lavender syrup, coffee bitters (don’t overdue, meant to balance sweetness not overpower with coffee flavor)
Thanks Anders, Daiquiri has always been my favorite. Here is my version, definitely not a classic, but you should give it a try if you haven’t already..
-45ml White rum (Plantation 3 Star)
-15ml Dark rum (Appleton estate 12years)
-15ml Cointreau
-20ml fresh lime juice
-20ml semi rich simple Syrup (1,5:1)
I recommend adding a little more of both Syrup and Lime (up to 5ml each depending on your limes and your preference of course), otherwise the Cointreau can be quite dominant and destroy a otherwise beautifully balanced drink. If done correctly you add an interesting dimension to this Cocktail with the Cointreau and the dark rum.
Serve up and enjoy :) cheers!
Sounds great - like a rum margarita. Great rum choices, btw!
Man, Plantation 3 Star is my go-to base for daqs (or any drink that calls for a light white rum). Good call on the Appleton as well. That 12 year is so freaking smooth. Gonna try your recipe soon!
Haven't had an honest old school daiquiri in years - thanks for the reminder of just how good a simple drink like this can be! Sipping one right now, and it tastes like a vacation!
Just wanted to say that upon watching this video I tried a daiquiri with both dark rum and white rum and it was superb, thank you Anders for the idea. The richer bolder flavour of Ron Zacapa ambar 12 paired really well with the crisp smooth finish of Bacardi blanca
Those are two ends of the spectrum of rum. I'll try it.
From a fellow Chicagoan, thank you expanding my interest and trying new cocktails. Keep up it the great job
TO THE BAR! 🥃
Here we are at another Friday!
Those three words put a big smile on my face
Great video my friend. I agree it's a need-to-know drink. Interesting history as well.
'So I say this is a good drink for you to learn on'. Your approach is as refreshing as your drinks Anders!
For every Daiquiri fan, you should go out there, find the Plantation Pineapple infused rum and make the Stiggins Daiquiri.
Just made a batch of these with oleo saccharum instead of plain simple syrup and OMG, it elevated the drink to another level - everyone here is now requesting a Daiquri! Had to share with this forum. Happy Father’s Day everyone!
as a Louisianian, we love our relaxed liquor laws and i use the drive up daiquiri shop every weekend😂😂. it’s considered a closed container until you take the piece of tape off the lid of the to-go cup. also we can take home to-go drinks from the bar
It’s Friday !!! Wuhu time for a cocktail ! Cheers from Berlin Anders
Cheers! Enjoy the weekend!
Amazing channel. Has helped me make some great drinks :D
Making both tonight! Just cause..... and why not. Cheers!
My favorite cocktail.
My favorite recipe is;
2 oz Barbados White rum
1 oz LIme Juice
2 tsp of a homemade granulated sugar mix made of 4 parts Cane Sugar, 1 part demerara stirred with the lime juice prior to adding the rum to the mixing tin.
The Barbados White has a hint of a rum/floral note to it's taste without being sharp or sweet.
The sugar mix is from BeachBum Barry the "Tiki Historian" and owner of Latitude 29. It conveys a clean sweetness with a touch of depth to the flavor.
Dark daiquiri with Appleton Estate 12 year rum has been my favorite drink this summer
One of my absolute favorites to make at home. So easy and so refreshing
I like plantation pineapple with demarara sugar syrup
5cl rum
3cl lime
3cl sugar
But as u said works great with any rum u like
Oh the possibilities for the weekend ahead...
I've been making daiquiris with Plantation 3 Star for a while, but decided I'd do the same as you, and used some of my Denizen Merchant Reserve 8 Year instead. Totally different experience, totally awesome. Thanks!
Since you ask, my preference for a Classic Daiquiri is to use Bacardi white label. Unimaginative, I know, but it's basically designed for Daiquiris. I have a sweet tooth (unsophisticated, I know), so I use a richer simple syrup than the video calls for. As far as the Dark Daiquiri goes, I think I'll give it a try.
My favorite drink. But i enjoy making it with a dark funky rum!!!
Wow. Love the Dark Daquiri. Rich and refreshing. Happy National Daquiri Day!
I love using an aged rum in my daiquiri. The added flavor makes them so much richer.
My mouth is salivating. I haven't had a daiquiri in so long. I'm always trying other drinks and trying to learn new flavors. Looks like it's always nice to go back to a simple and timeless drink. You're amazing. Enjoy your weekend and stay cool.... Away from the studio. 🤣🤣🤣
So just tonight was daiquiri night here using Appleton Estate 8 yr. Reserve, and a 1-to-1 demerara syrup. Much more robust than with Bacardi. Very reminiscent of my very first drink ever at Franklin Mortgage Co. here in Philly, where I was introduced to El Dorado 12 yr. (A great discovery for me, because my grandfather was born in Paramaribo.)
The best rum for Daiquiri, in my humble opinion, is really close to just mixing your two choices: Foursquare Probitas/Veritas. Foursquare is the original distiller for Real McCoy, and Probitas is a blend of Barbados and Jamaican (Hampden Estate, rather than Hamilton) rums.
I like making a Daiquiri as part of deciding about a new rum: Have it neat, with a drop of water, with an ice cube, and in a Daiquiri.
I just added a comment saying how probitas is my favorite rum of choice for a daiquiri. Glad I'm not the only one!
I love it with Smith and Cross or a split of Wray and Nephew Over proof and a standard silver rum.
You just made me go into my kitchen and make one! I used a 3 year old Cuban rum (Havana Club) don't think you get it in the U.S. It's a light rum with a slight amber tint. I also used a brown sugar for my syrup. Tried it and with drink in hand I am watching the rest more of your channel...and I just love it! I had no idea that this drink originated in Cuba. Learn something new every day 🙂
it's good to drink rum cocktail this time of year. of course daiquiri is among them.
happy national daiquiri day!
Anders, it has been a little over a year and a half since I started watching your videos, and my oh my how far have you come (over 300k now.) I just wanted to say thank you for everything you have taught me. Moreover, you inspired me to create my own cocktail Instagram. I posted my first picture a few days ago and the drink was a daiquiri (I guess great minds think alike). Anyway. thanks for everything and keep up the good work. Cheers!
Thanks for the advice regards trusting your pallet. I make it different the more drunk I get!!. Love the channel.
I like El Dorado 5 Year and Demarara simple in my Daiquiri. I just love those dark molassesy flavors
So many great quality rums out there, endless possibilities for Daiquiri flavor profiles.
Thumbs up, bro... taking the magic out of things without disenchanting them. Well done. Thumbs up!
Great opening to this video. Well done
saw this video and was immediately blasted back to that Far Side comic about banana daiquiris
Daiquiri’s have been my favourite drink for YEARS, especially in summer!
Man I wish I could find that OXO jigger without the insane markup we have here in Europe… it sells around 40€…
That aside, Anders, you got me hooked up from the first video. They have it all and every time I recreate a cocktail with your ratios, they taste amazing. Thank you so much !
I ordered one and love it. That sucks you have to deal with the markup. My only gripe with it is that there is no 20z (60ml) measurement. Not a deal breaker, as it has a 1oz (30ml) measurement. Other than that, the the thing feels great in your hands and there's virtually no spillage. Hopefully you can pick one up for a reasonable price!
Videos always on point. Been making both these for awhile and i still felt the need to watch the entire video. Keep up the great work!
Appreciate you watching - Cheers!
@@AndersErickson Cheers!
When a guest ask me where i watch and learn new about bartending/mixing, i always tell them to see your channel 👌 gonna try that dark daiquiri.
I've always considered daiquiris my #1 favorite cocktail. People always look at me weird when I say that because they think I'm talking about the overly sweet frozen ones. I think Flor De cana extra seco makes the best clean daiquiri, but I do love dark ones as well, and the best daiquiris I've had in bars here in Portland have always been dark ones. Amusingly, the best daiquiri I ever had was at the whiskey library lounge. They were doing these banana daiquiris with doctor bird rum and I don't know what else but they were just perfect in every way. I had like 5 of those that night. I've been trying to recreate it at home with what I have on hand, using creme de banane and various rums. They're good but not on the level of what I had at that bar.
Can’t go wrong with a daiquiri. I used Brugal as my dark rum, it’s from the Dominican Republic (also great in piña coladas) with rich Demerara and it’s BANGIN.
Haha, love the duck quack at the 5 minute mark!
Here we go...I need to make a daiquiri now 🍹
Jumped up and made one, dark, before the end of the video. I've been making daiquiris all my adult life, mostly with fruit, but back to the basics is awesome. Flor de Cana 7 year old rum and agave syrup instead of demarara because it's what I had on hand.
Watching this sipping on a raspberry daiquiri made with demerara and dark rum. Feels good
Daiquiri is in my top five and my girlfriend's number 1! I use 1.5oz of Plantation white rum and a half oz of Wray & Nephew overproof for some FUNK.
Yum ; ) A non slushy daiquiri... thanks Anders. And that's a lovely shirt.
My go to for a daiquiri is Veritas/Probitas (pending on location). That lil kick of Jamaican funk in the daiquiri just elevates it to another level
Amazing as always. Please your take on the Hemingway Daiquiri!!
Your voice from the TV triggered my Home pod to give me info on National Daiquiri Day😂 7:06
As someone is from and still lives in Louisiana, the drive through situation is alive and well!
The Daiquiri...in is elegant simplicity it is the best cocktail there is. hands down. Also, I generally use Havanna 3 year :)
Take a look at the Hemingway Daquiri. Basic daiquiri without simple sugar but with grapefruit juice and maraschino cherry liqueur added. Ernie drank his on the rocks.
My fav rum cocktail. I use angostura 5 year, plantation OD, some single cask rums from plantation, dooly 5 year, el dorado 5 (if it has to be sweet), prohibitas (or veritas in EU), 50ml plantation 3 star en 10ml hampden rum fire 😍 en small amount of velvet fallernum, equal parts PL 3 stars and rum bar gold, .... you can not screw up this cocktail if you use quality rum!
Thx for the demerara syrup tip!
I make all my light rum drinks with an Agricole Rum; my current bottle is from Martinique. I love the taste of a cane rum vs molasses. And, national Daiquiri day is July 19
I use Chairman's Reserve Silver in my daiquiri. I also use light agave syrup in place of a simple sugar. I love the affinity the agave syrup shares with limes. I'm glad to have learned National Daiquiri Day exists and I did not miss it yet. I suppose I would make a dark daiquiri with my Ron Zacapa 23 and Dark Agave.
Recently discovered the Royal Bermuda 🇧🇲 Yacht Club Daiquiri recipe which has become my favorite. The Golden Falernum seems to moderate the acidity of the lime juice in the regular Daiquiri and the Orange Curaçao 🇨🇼 seems to temper the tartness of the lime juice resulting in a nicely crafted slightly more complex and smoother variant.
I absolutely love a 3,2,1 Rum, lime, simple daiquiri with Probitas. The bit of funk in the Probitas just works oh so well. I think a daiquiri flight is in order today!
I'm still using the Don Q Gold I bought a year ago when I wrote down all the recommendations from your starting a bar on a budget video and went to the liquor store. The only size bottle of Don Q Gold they had in stock was the handle. I have bought a bottle of the Hamilton Jamacian Pot Still Gold (which I think is identical to the Black, except for color). I should try that one.
Denizen is mostly known for their "Merchant Reserve" Mai Tai rum, but they also make a 3 year blended white rum that is absolutely perfect for a classic Daiquiri.
Still not making any rum drinks and still have no rum bottles in the home bar. It all dates back to a college days, very long ago and very ill-advised "daquiri tasting" evening that evolved into a rum shots evening. Haunting memories, let me say. That being said, now older, wiser, and vastly more careful with my cocktails, I have been leaning towards perhaps trying rum again. If I do, it will be due, in rather large part, to your (and my Bronx pal Vino's) various rum cocktail videos, particularly this one and the "not a Painkiller" one (I must acknowledge I did enjoy a few of those way post-college while in the Caribbean, very near the Soggy Dollar Bar). So, thanks very much, again for your fun and informative videos, I think. :) Have a great weekend, both of you!
Fully support you revisiting the world of rum, and I'm sure Vino would agree! Appreciate the comment - Cheers!
Had a 2:1 simple sugar already made (never goes bad that way, for those that don't know) - so I used your recipe but lowered the simple sugar between the 1/2 and 3/4 mark on my jigger - turned out perfect! Thanks for the vids!
Keep doing like this Anders, you're one of the nicest and funniest guys on UA-cam!
Mmmmm a wonderful summer cocktail😋😁
I love using different and even aged rum's in my daiquiri and seeing the complexity change.
Did my dark daiquiri with Appleton Estate Signature....WOW is that good!!!!
Jesus, that classic recipe is absolute gold.
Loving all the tiki videos lately. The best white rum I’ve had in one is Probitas.
So glad that you made a daiquiri Episode! It is my favourite Drink! Congrats to 300 k subscribers btw - you and az earned it! Superb Production quality!
Not just Louisiana, Beaumont TX has quite a few of those spots too.... I''m more of a margarita/paloma kind of guy, so I like mine a little tarter than what they serve.
Thank you Andres! Another educational, entertaining, amazing video! I really hope that one the channel goes on the road to talk to distillers, mixologist..and visit lounges etc. Your style is so entertaining and enjoyable to watch. And when you and Az team up, it's sheer delight. Keep up the great work!
Just found your channel and I love it! Subscribed immediately!
It’s hard to stray from Real McCoy rum here, just delicious
TIL how easy daiquiris are to make. That dark one immediately had me wanting to try it.
