divine intervention

1 1/2 oz Santa Teresa Rum
1/2 oz Smith & Cross Rum
3/4 oz Lime Juice
3/4 oz Simple Syrup

Shake with ice and strain into a double old fashioned glass with a large ice cube.Two Mondays ago, I was invited to be a judge for the Daiquiri Showdown at Shore Leave for Boston Rum Week. Five of the six contestants had recipes that required specialty ingredients, but the one that utilized all off the shelf bottles and simple juices and syrups was the one that I jotted down the measurements for putting on the blog and my Instagram. That one was the Divine Intervention by Ian Wolf of Shore Leave, and his drink of a classic Daiquiri utilizing 3 parts rich Santa Teresa Rum to 1 part funky and overproof Smith & Cross ended up placing third. My tasting notes were that it began with a caramel and rum funk nose. Next, the caramel continued on into the sip where it mingled with the lime, and the swallow wrapped things up with rum and tropical notes from the Jamaican rum.
