Bottoms Up! Easy-Peasy Daiquiri Cocktail Recipes From Around The World
The classic daiquiri has been bitten by the travel bug, and it’s decided to take you along on the ride. Just make sure your shaker’s handy and your ice tray is full. Here are daiquiris that taste like they’ve racked up more air miles than a seasoned globetrotter, from the streets of India to the tea bars in Morocco.
The British Earl Grey Daiquiri
First stop, the UK. But forget the double-decker buses and rainy afternoons; we’re here for the tea. Brew a strong cup of Earl Grey, then chill it like it's got plans to attend a garden party. Mix 45 ml Captain Morgan, our faithful travel companion, 15 ml of the cooled tea, 20 ml of lime juice, and a spoonful of honey. Shake, strain into a glass, and enjoy a daiquiri that might just make it to the bar at the next royal wedding.
The Japanese Yuzu Daiquiri
Jetting over to Japan, we find a fruit that’s as zesty as it is elusive: yuzu. This daiquiri aims to capture the essence of the Land of the Rising Sun. You'll want 60 ml Captain Morgan, 20 ml of yuzu juice, if you can get your hands on it, and 10 ml of simple syrup to balance the tartness. Shake it all up with the precision of a chef, and serve in a glass that's sleek and minimal, much like a Tokyo skyline.
The Indian Mango Lassi Daiquiri
Now, let’s touch down in India, a land where flavours and aromas intertwine. The Mango Lassi Daiquiri is a nod to the hot Indian summer. Blend 60 ml Captain Morgan with 30 ml of mango puree, 20 ml of lime juice, and a dollop of yoghurt to keep yourself cool as the sun shines on. Serve it with a sprinkle of cardamom powder on top, and it’s like you’re sipping your way through an old Indian market.
The Brazilian Lime and Cachaca Twist Daiquiri
Next up, Brazil—but with a rum twist. We’re crafting a daiquiri that sambas. Replace the usual lime juice with a splash of cachaca to give it that Brazilian rhythm. Mix 60 ml of Captain Morgan, 20 ml of cachaca (for that sugarcane kick), and 15 ml of lime juice. Add a dash of simple syrup if you like it sweet, then shake it as though you are shimmying at the Carnival in Rio. This daiquiri is irresistibly tropical and is best enjoyed with a lemon garnish.
The Moroccan Mint Tea Daiquiri
Our final destination takes us to the bustling streets of Morocco with the Moroccan Mint Tea Daiquiri. Brew some Moroccan mint tea and wait for it to cool down. Mix 60 ml Captain Morgan, 20 ml of mint tea, 15 ml of lime juice, and a tiny bit of rose water for that touch of mystique. Shake and strain this liquid into a tinted glass.
