Why you are pouring this tonight

Make a classic daiquiri, strain it over ice in a rocks glass, then float a layer of aged dark rum on top. The dark rum adds complexity on the nose; the underneath stays bright and clean.

What changes from the Daiquiri

Classic daiquiri served on the rocks with a 15ml float of aged dark rum (Appleton).

What to pour it alongside

Slow-cooked meats, jerk chicken, a cheese plate.
