Daisy de Santiago
One of my go to Daiquiri variations — as long as I have enough Yellow Chartreuse in stock.
I discovered this cocktail last year. Classically, this is served on the rocks or crushed ice with a mint sprig, which is also extremely enjoyable.
It used to be served at the Bacardi distillery in Cuba in the 1930s. Taking aim at a cross between a Daisy / Sidecar and a Daiquiri build, this sits right in my comfort zone.
Complex, bright, and funky.
