Name: Lemon Daiquiri
Ingredients: 2 ounces rhum agricole blanc (like Neisson); 1 ounce fresh lemon juice; ½ ounce simple syrup; Lemon verbena for garnish

Is a daiquiri a daiquiri only if it includes lime? Nope. Even bars in Cuba, the drink’s homeland, play pretty fast and loose with daiquiri variations. The lime shortage of 2014 inspired me to try it with lemon instead, and the result is bracing and a little disorienting (in a good way) — like a union between a traditional daiquiri and a Tom Collins. And I like what the distinctive funkiness of rhum agricole adds to the drink. Swap in different fresh, seasonal citrus juices whenever the mood strikes (but adjust the amount of simple syrup accordingly, as other fruits are inherently sweeter than lemons). I’m thinking a daiquiri with clementine juice will hit the spot come winter.
