National Daiquiri Day

As you all know, next Wednesday is National Daiquiri Day. The Drugstore Social in Finnieston are not going to let it slide by unnoticed.

In fact, they are making a week of it.

From Monday 17th July, they are running a special daiquiri menu with five different variations on the classic drink.

Part of the Kained Holdings group, the West End cocktail bar has teamed up with Bacardi to push the envelope on the classic rum, lime and sugar combo.

National Daiquiri Day goes exotic

Drugstore’s head bartender Kevin Hunt has come up with some pretty exotic recipes. The Daiquiri Punch features rhubarb and pea shoot syrup alongside Bacardi Carta Blanca, Bacardi Carta Negra, apple mint tea and Escubac.

The Shogun’s Daiquiri uses Bacardi Carta Blanca, Rum Agricole, orgeat syrup and lime juice with Umeshu Sake giving it a moreish savoury finish.

And traditionalists need not worry as the classic daiquiri will be available alongside favourites such as the Hemingway Daiquiri.

Commenting, Kevin Hunt, said: ‘We are thrilled to host National Daiquiri Week with Bacardi. Together, we will help showcase this wonderful summer drink and show how versatile it is. It’s delicious in its classic form or with a touch of fruit. It also tastes great when blended with other spirits, infusions and even vegetables!

‘Our celebratory menu will surprise and delight our customers and offer them the chance to try something new. Everything on the daiquiri menu is made fresh on site and uses the highest quality ingredients, celebrating flavours from around the world. We think Daiquiri Day is cause for celebration, so we’ve made a whole week of it!’

The menu features five styles of daiquiri which will be available from Monday July 17 until Sunday 23. There will also be a special daiquiri fountain.
