1pt Santiago Daiquiri Recipe

1pt Santiago Daiquiri
Rum, lime, and a punch of something unexpected—stripped down, raw, and full of life. The citrus infusion layers lemongrass, lemon verbena, ginger, and yerba mate, turning a classic into something unforgettable. Imagine the sun beating down, salt in the air, and an ice-cold glass in hand. It’s freedom in a glass—no frills, just pure adventure. Batch it for the crew, or keep it non-alcoholic for those craving the thrill without the rum.

STEP 1 - Easy All-Natural Infusion

Infuse Your Spirit:
Combine a 1pt Citrus Infusion Blend Packet with 375ml of rum in any lidded container. Let it infuse for 4-5 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 Citrus Infusion Blend Ingredients:
Lemongrass, Lemon Verbena, Ginger, Yerba Mate, Marigold Petals - 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

Mixing Instructions:
Combine ingredients using the measurements above in a shaker with ice. Shake until chilled and well-combined. Strain into a suitable glass and serve “up” or over ice. If batching, combine all ingredients (including 6 oz of water) in a pitcher (with ice if desired) and stir.

Garnish:
Garnish with a lime wheel for a vibrant, classic finish.

STEP 3 - Enjoy!

For an Added Twist:
Add a sprig of fresh mint to bring out the herbal notes of the infusion.
