Daisy de Martinique

3 minutes

The daisy is a class of cocktails related to fizzes and sours that supports

many different base spirits. In this version, we're using rhum agricole,

which is made from sugar cane juice rather than from molasses as is the

case for a common rum. Since rhum agricole comes from Martinique and other

former French colonies, we're calling this cocktail the Daisy de Martinique.

You should be able to find rhum agricole in most well-appointed liquor

stores. If you can't find it, you can really use any spirit you like:

branch, whiskey, gin, etc. If you use tequila, this comes very close to

being a margarita.

2 ounces rhum agricole

1 ounce fresh lemon juice

1/2 ounce grenadine

1/4 ounce simple syrup

club soda or other carbonated water

Place rhum, lemon juice, grenadine, and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker

with ice and shake vigorously. Strain into a cocktail glass and top with

the carbonated water. Garnish with a lemon twist.
