Winter Spiced Daiquiri
A chilled, elegant daiquiri infused with citrus, warm spice, and a touch of allspice dram—smooth, bright, and perfect for holiday sipping.
Because every drink deserves a beautiful moment.
Ingredients
2 oz white rum (or aged rum for a deeper, warmer profile)
¾ oz fresh lime juice
½ oz allspice dram
¼ oz simple syrup
Optional: A tiny pinch of cinnamon or freshly grated nutmeg on top
Garnish: Lime wheel, dehydrated lime, or a star anise pod
Instructions
Add rum, lime juice, simple syrup, and allspice dram to a shaker filled with ice.
Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds, or until well chilled.
Strain into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass.
Garnish with your choice of lime wheel, dehydrated citrus, or star anise.
Add a tiny pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg if you want a warmer holiday finish.
Notes from the Bar
Rum Choice
White rum keeps this bright and refreshing, while aged rum adds deeper caramel and winter warmth.
Allspice Dram
At ½ oz, the spice becomes more pronounced but still balanced. If you want a softer spice note, reduce to ¼ oz.
Cinnamon/Nutmeg Tip
A micro pinch goes a long way. Think more aromatic than flavored.
Glassware
Serve in a coupe or Nick & Nora to highlight its elegant winter-gold color.
Ice Matters
Shake with cracked ice for the best dilution and texture.
Batch for 6
12 oz rum
4½ oz lime juice
3 oz simple syrup
3 oz allspice dram
Shake each serving individually over ice for proper chill and dilution.
