Nuclear Daiquiri

Description

Nuclear Daiquiri works best when it is treated as more than a list of ingredients. The sour structure gives the drink its discipline: spirit for weight, citrus for energy and sweetness for shape. Overproof white rum, lime juice, green chartreuse and falernum should feel bright and deliberate, with the tart edge making the flavour pop rather than vanish.

The best version tastes alive, not merely acidic; it should leave a clean finish and make the next sip feel inviting.
