About
This cocktail was created by Michael McCollum at Attaboy Nashville (@attaboynashville) in 2023. It takes the Daiquiri well beyond the usual rum, lime, and sugar formula, replacing lime with lemon and bringing Bénédictine and pineapple into the mix. The Bénédictine adds honeyed herbs and warm spice, while the absinthe rinse gives the drink an anise aroma that shows up before the tropical fruit. It is lush, herbal, and still recognizably built around the bones of a rum sour.Cheers y’all!
