Description
A classic daiquiri meets the nostalgic flavor of Orange Julius. Try to sip slowly. The Hidden Harbor team tells us this blend “goes down easily—perhaps too easily.”
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ oz light Puerto Rican rum
- ¼ oz dark Jamaican rum
- ¾ oz fresh-squeezed lime juice
- 1 oz fresh-squeezed orange juice
- 1 oz honey syrup (1:1 mix of honey and water)
- ¼ oz. orange liqueur
- 3 drops real vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a blender pitcher. Blend until smooth. Pour into a stemmed goblet. Garnish with a mint sprig and orange slice, or whatever tropical garnish you have on hand, and sip through a wide straw.
Notes
The team at Hidden Harbor shares the story of this tropical beauty: “Legendary Mai-Kai barman Mariano Licudine created this orange-y Daiquiri riff for the Florida Derby horse race in 1959, and then used it to win a major cocktail competition sponsored by the Rums of Puerto Rico. We tweaked his original recipe in several ways, which together give it a bit of an Orange Julius kiss. Beware: goes down easily—perhaps too easily.”
