Yesterday, my wife and I were having brunch and as part of brunch we had a cocktail. The cocktail in question was a Beija-flor (or hummingbird in English). It was a delightful apricot flavored drink and went down very well.
I figured, how hard can it be to make this so I thought I would have a go at home and with that in mind, I snapped a pic of the menu that gave the basic ingredients.
I don't have Cachaca or any sort of apricot liqueur, but I do have basic white rum and apple liqueur so I figured lets make an apple flavored one. I tried a couple of mixes but to no avail, I just could not get it to taste good. So I gave up; this weeks cocktail is a Daiquiri.
As I had the rum out, I figured I would try my hand at a Daiquiri. And I have to say this one tastes pretty good. The recipe is simple; 2 parts rum to 1 part lime juice and a splash of simple syrup, shake and pour over ice.
Doesn't look like much.
I must say this tastes great, most enjoyable on this alternatively sunny and rainy afternoon. Any idea what I should try my hand at next week?
