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)
