The classic Daiquiri is a beautiful thing. As with many beautiful things, it is a simple affair: just rum, lime, sugar and ice, and when mixed together in the appropriate proportions? Perfection.
But the Daiquiri does have its limits. It’s not a particularly complex drink, though the choice of the rum used can add some more interest. And that’s where Oliver Churcher, bar manager at Sydney cocktail bar Double Deuce Lounge, started with his tropical take on the drink, the Copacabana Daiquiri.
Churcher fat washes butter and cacao into a bottle of Havana Club 3 Anos, the result of which is a rum with amplified chocolate notes; to this, he adds passionfruit, lime, and coconut syrup — the result is delicious.
