Spiced Daiquiri

While a tart, green Daiquiri is an alfresco drink at heart, the versatile classic can be easily winterized for sipping by the fireplace. For our Spiced Daiquiri (recipe on page 254), we replace mild white rum with a robust aged variety, and instead of simple syrup, we use wildflower honey infused with mulling spices. The proverbial cherry on top is an aromatic garnish of a lime wedge studded with cloves. Shake up a few for cocktail hour, and pair them with our saucy Mini Tostadas with Pulled Chicken & Pineapple (recipe on page 257). Visit lcbo.com/fdcocktail to watch this drink being made.
