Home alone with too many bottles
Cuba Libre Daiquiri
The rum and coke highball is a simple drink enjoyed worldwide.
In the form of the Cuba Libre, it’s been elevated by the introduction of lime to the mix. This might seem like a simple addition but it changes everything.
The lime opens up the whole drink, taming the Coke’s sweetness and adding depth to something that is otherwise one-dimensional.
Celebrating National Daiquiri Day, I decided to bring those flavors into the daiquiri template to create something both new and familiar.
