dry daiquiri

1 1/2 oz Light Rum (Old Ipswich White Cap)
1/2 oz Campari
3/4 oz Lime Juice
1/2 oz Simple Syrup
1 tsp Passion Fruit Syrup

Shake with ice, strain into a coupe glass, and garnish with a flamed orange twist (unflamed). Two Mondays ago, I opened up my copy of The Madrusan Cocktail Companion and became intrigued by Dry Daiquiri from Kevin Armstrong at Match Bar in London circa 2005. The Dry Daiquiri has the Campari-passion fruit duo that I first learned about in the Novara; with dark rum and a touch of absinthe, this combination becomes the Benjamin Barker Daiquiri, and with pineapple, this combination shares similarities with the Commando Bird. In the glass, this Daiquiri offered up a tropical and complex orange aroma. Next, lime and melon notes on the sip stepped aside for rum, bitter orange, and passion fruit flavors on the swallow.
