Belladonna Daiquiri
Watch the Bears make it🥃 Serve in: Coupe Glass
Named for the beautiful lady who also happens to be deadly nightshade, and it lives up to both halves. Dark blackstrap rum pours in thick with molasses, burnt sugar and a brooding edge, while an equal measure of amaretto wraps it in sweet almond and marzipan, like silk over something sharp. Fresh lemon slices through the richness, and a touch of rich syrup keeps the balance poised. Shaken and served up, it’s dark, nutty and bittersweet, a daiquiri that’s traded the beach for a candlelit parlour. Gorgeous to look at, lovely to sip, and very good at getting what it wants.
