On our cocktail menu under ‘Los Clasicos,’ you’ll find the noble daiquiri. Though frequently bastardized, any cocktail enthusiast will testify to the fact that La Sirena’s daiquiri is thoroughly classic. And by that, we mean Cubano, of course.
So in the Cuban style, we start out with quality rums (Dominican, in this case: Ron Matusalum Platinum and 5 Year) and fresh lime juice—then make a nod to the recipe’s hundred-year-old history by adding superfine sugar instead of regular ol’ simple syrup. Dry-shaking the superfine sugar with rum, lime and bitters (house and Angostura), creates a syrup à la minute. Add ice to the shaker and agitate it a few more times, then pour over crushed ice, and it’s a daiquiri true to its caribbean heritage.
Throughout the year we offer the option of adding seasonal preserves to the shaker; right now we’re offering strawberry.
