What is a Vanilla Daiquiri?
A Vanilla Daiquiri is a twist on the classic rum cocktail made with a blend of light rum, freshly squeezed lime juice, and the delicious addition of vanilla syrup. It is typically shaken with ice and strained into a chilled coupe glass, resulting in a smooth and creamy drink with a perfect harmony of sweet and tangy flavors. The vanilla adds a delightful twist to the traditional daiquiri, creating a refreshing and satisfying beverage perfect for enjoying on warm summer days or when you crave a tropical-inspired treat.
