2½ oz DFH Barrel Honey Rum
¾ oz fresh lime juice

Pinch of salt

Combine all ingredients in a mixing tin, top with ice and shake vigorously for 10-12 seconds. Double strain into a chilled coupe. Repeat for best results. Don’t forget to garnish with a lime.

If you are familiar with my work and me, you know that I have an unhealthy obsession with daiquiris. My first thought after tasting any rum is, “But how would this taste in a daiquiri?” As it turns out, Barrel Honey Rum makes a hell of a daiquiri. More often than not, you’ll find that a classic daiquiri recipe sticks with 2 oz of rum, but many bartenders like myself choose to slightly up the quantity when using lighter rums. This allows the nuance and character to present itself fully in the finished product. This rum is sweet (slightly), subtle and tart. The honey is surprisingly present without being overbearing.
