1pt Rossa Daiquiri Recipe
1pt Rossa Daiquiri
This isn’t just any daiquiri; it’s a nod to the bold, festive spirit of Jamaican sorrel, that deep-red hibiscus drink pulsing with tang and spice. Rum infused with hibiscus, grapefruit zest, orange zest, and Omani lime brings a vibrant color and a taste that feels like it’s been kissed by the Caribbean sun. Fresh lime juice cuts through, keeping it sharp, while simple syrup rounds it off just enough. Easy to batch for a crowd, and ready to serve as a mocktail option that holds its own—because some flavors are too good not to share. This mashup of daiquiri and sorrel is a tribute to both worlds, a cocktail that doesn’t just sit on the table; it makes a statement.
STEP 1 - Easy All-Natural Infusion
Infuse Your Spirit:
Combine a 1pt Rossa Infusion Blend Packet with 375ml of rum in any lidded container. Let it infuse for 3-4 hours, then strain, and reserve the infused spirit for your cocktails. (No need to refrigerate - infused spirits can be stored indefinitely at room temperature)
1pt Rossa Infusion Blend Ingredients:
Hibiscus, Grapefruit Zest, Orange Zest, Omani Lime - no sugar, gluten, dairy, nuts, additives, or preservatives
Mocktail* Version:
Substitute water or a zero-proof spirit for the alcohol in this infusion and follow the same steps. (Non-alcoholic infusions should be refrigerated and used within 30 days)
STEP 2 - Mix Your Drink
Ingredient | Cocktail (1) | Batch (8+) |
---|---|---|
1pt Rossa-infused Rum* | 1.5 oz | 375 ml |
Fresh Lime Juice | 1.0 oz | 8 oz |
Simple Syrup | 0.5 oz | 4 oz |
Mixing Instructions:
Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake until chilled. Strain into a suitable glass - “up” or over ice. For batching, do not shake. Instead, combine all ingredients in a pitcher with ice (adding 4 oz of water to mimic the dilution you usually get from shaking) and serve as normal.
Garnish:
Garnish with fresh raspberries to complement the hibiscus notes and add a pop of color.
STEP 3 - Enjoy!
For an Added Twist:
Add a splash of sparkling water to create a refreshing spritz version of this cocktail.

- Classic & Comforting: Grilled shrimp skewers with a hint of citrus zest, bringing a bright and savory element that pairs well with the drink’s tropical notes.
- Elevated & Elegant: Mini pork belly sliders with a tangy lime aioli, offering a rich and satisfying bite that complements the cocktail's depth and zest.
