Mia's Special Daiquiri

By Mia Hjorth Hansen, Gedulgt Bar in Aarhus, Denmark

It's a spicy and aromatic twist on the classic Daiquiri, the acidity is different and more juicy and fruity because of the choice of using reduced apple juice instead of citric acid. Being a little cheeky, I have added spice to my twist, for a extra surprise.

METHOD

Dust frozen nick & nora glass with gold and dry apple skin. Add ingredients into shaker with ice, shake and fine strain. Spray with sweet woodruff liquor.

• 40ml Ron Santiago de Cuba 11 Years Old
• 25ml Cloudy Apple Reduction
• 20ml Sweet Woodruff Liqueur
• 7 Dashes Yellow Habanero and Green Cardamom Shrub
• Powdered Apple Skin Dust and Sweet Woodruff Perfume

THE CREATOR SAYS

"The combination of Cuba and Denmark showcased in a Daiquiri. Bringing together some of the very best ingredients from both countries. Obviously, Cuba is represented by the tropical notes from Ron Santiago de Cuba 11yo and the yellow habanero chilli, which are said to have originated in Cuba. In Denmark we have a lot of apples, so I wanted to use that as the freshness and acidity as well as Woodruff, foraged in a forest nearby, and green cardamom adding sweetness and spice to the drink."
