Strawberry Rhubarb Daiquiri

We recently learned how to make an authentic daiquiri, and I can assure you with complete confidence that they’re infinitely better than any daiquiri mix or frozen daiquiri sugar-bomb creation you’ve ever had. 

The original daiquiri is a perfectly balanced cocktail – tangy, sweet and slightly sour. It typically consists of three simple ingredients: fresh lime (or other citrus) juice, simple syrup and rum. The quality of each ingredient matters tremendously, so if you’re making one at home, be sure to use freshly squeezed juice, homemade (or very high quality store-bought) simple syrup, and high quality rum.  

We gave the classic recipe a refreshing Spring treatment using everyone’s favorite seasonal produce: rhubarb! It’s very easy to make a fresh rhubarb strawberry puree (be sure to strain it before using!), and it’s a great drink for your next Spring brunch.  Give it a try and let us know what you think!

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring water and sugar to a simmer. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat, add mint leaves, cover and let sit for at least one hour. Before using, strain to remove any mint.
