Daiquiri night...

Don's Special Daiquiri:

Very rum forward with the Smith & Cross in the forefront. Quite tasty. Might up the passion fruit next time.

OOH! What were your ratios, if you don't mind me asking? I utterly adore Smith & Cross but it does dominate. Caña Brava 2:1 Smith & Cross?

1/2 oz Caña Brava
1 oz Smith & Cross

After drinking this and then reading people's comments on the Grogalizer who were unanimously saying it's a very sweet drink and how they'd cut back the passion fruit, I looked at the recipe again and realized I incorrectly used lemon instead of lime. I guess cuz the previous drink I made called for lemon and I like the pairing of lemon and passion fruit, I just went with it. But I don't think that would have much of an impact on the sweetness of the drink. Perhaps my homemade passion fruit syrup is just milder than what everyone else was using. Or maybe it's just that S&C dominates everything. I plan to experiment more.
