ABOUT
This cocktail was created in 2016 by Freddie Sarkis at the Broken Shaker (Chicago, IL). This daiquiri is a wonderful introduction to rhum agricole — a sugar cane juice based rum originating from the French Caribbean islands. It has a distinct grassy/vegetal taste to it. Though not the main ingredient here, it dominates. Cheers y’all!
