ABOUT
A daiquiri might be my deathbed cocktail, and this one might just carry me there. I kept the classic build but added tiki bitters for depth. I love absinthe in daiquiris, so I made my first cocktail air—pineapple-absinthe for an ethereal lift. Light, herbal, and floating between here and beyond. Cheers y’all!
