#37: Derby Daiquiri


     This visit to the Hut starts with the Derby Daiquiri.  It was created by a veteran bartender of the great Don the Beachcomber's, Mariano Licudine.  He went on to be a bartender at Mai Kai, and he created the drink for a "Rums of Puerto Rico" competition in 1959.

  • 1 oz orange juice
  • 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 oz sugarcane syrup
  • 1 1/2 oz light Puerto Rican rum

This goblet-served drink is surprisingly tangy for how many sweet ingredients it contains.  Definitely one for the sipping, due to both alcoholic content and severe taste.  On to the next.
