I’ve always associated daiquiris with artificial tasting, syrupy sweet concoctions from the likes of Chili’s. Imagine my surprise, while flipping through Market-Fresh Mixology
Raspberry Daiquiri Recipe
Adapted from the strawberry daiquiri recipe in Market-Fresh Mixology
Ingredients:
- 10 raspberries
- 1/2 ounce orange liqueur (optional, I didn’t use it)
- 2 ounces rum
- 1/2 teaspoon raw sugar
- one lime, juiced
For the rim:
- lime wedge
- sugar
Instructions:
- Prepare your glass by running a lime wedge around the rim of a martini glass. Dip the top of the glass into a plate sprinkled with sugar.
- In a mixing glass, muddle the raspberries with the lime juice and sugar.
- Add rum and lots of ice. Shake well.
- Pour the mixture through a sieve into a martini glass. The sieve helps catch the raspberry seeds.
- Garnish with a lime twist (optional). Cheers!

Haha, I had to laugh because when I think of Daiquiri I think of Chili’s too! and it annoys me even more when people assume that I know how to make one because I am from Puerto Rico (I personally don’t see the relation of both :-) But I like the sound of this recipe because it looks like it would have a light flavor, and very refreshing.
How funny! I would never assume that a Puerto Rican would inherently know how to make a daiquiri. If you ever want to learn, though, give this raspberry daiquiri a try. It’s so good!
I associate daiquiris with trips to Mexico. I love the way you put the rasp one up front since it was better. Mmmm

I’ve always had the same preconceptions about daiquiris! But I love fresh fruit in cocktails, so I’ll this lovely thing in mind the next time I make something fancy
This sounds heavenly.

[...] Этот коктейль был создан американским горным инженером Дженнингз Кокс в 1896 году на Кубе. Его коллега, господин Пеглючи, предложил назвать напиток по имени близлежащего города Дайкири. Первоначально “дайкири” готовили из рома, лайма и сахара. Рецепт нашла в блоге Кейт. [...]
