Quarantiki - Joey's Orange Speedo (Without the Club Soda)

Monday, July 27, 2020

Had a lime left over from yesterday so I decided to make another daiquiri tonight. 

After that I made a Joey's Orange Speedo (without the club soda).

Daiquiri time. This is, of course, the Floridita Daiquiri from Shannon Mustipher's book Tiki- Modern Tropical Cocktails. Things are good at the Mermaid Lounge.

Quarantiki - Easter Daiquiri

Sunday, April 12, 2020

Easter today and a rather uneventful one at that. Snowy and stuck inside except to shovel. 

Daiquiri for cocktail hour - Shannon Mustipher's Floridita recipe. That lifted my spirits a little. 

Quarantiki - Floridita Daiquiri

Wednesday, March 26, 2020

The drink from Shannon Mustipher's book I chose to make is the Floridity Daiquiri. Now I've never made a daiquiri before and if I've ever had one it was a long time ago. Anyway, this one seemed pretty simple to put together. It calls for 3/4 ounce fresh lime juice, 1 bar spoon granulated sugar, and 2 ounces aged white rum. 

I upped the lime juice to one full ounce, used a tablespoon of bakers sugar, and added 1 extra ounce of the aged white rum (I used Diplomatico Planas - recommended by Mustipher).

The end result was simply fantastic. I can't believe something that simple could be that good! The rum was great, the sugar added a certain effervescence, and the fresh lime juice added a wonderful sharpness and tang to the whole thing!

This is one I'm definitely gonna make again!

Quarantiki - Diplomatico Planas and Tiki Tuesday

Tuesday, March 24, 2020

How was work today? Still navigating being a teacher with no students around. It's kinda weird. Stopped by the liquor and grocery stores for some aged white rum and limes. I plan on making a daiquiri for cocktail hour tomorrow. 

Oh, and here's a mug from my collection for Tiki Tuesday.
