History
The Bubblegum Daiquiri is a modern flavored twist on the Daiquiri. It follows the long tradition of flavored Daiquiri riffs, replacing the plain sugar with a confectionery-style bubble gum syrup and Licor 43 for a candied, nostalgic character.
The plain Daiquiri, a sour of rum, lime, and sugar, is usually placed around 1898, though some accounts date the first one to 1896.
FAQ
What is in a Bubblegum Daiquiri?
50 ml light gold rum, 10 ml Licor 43, 10 ml bubble gum syrup and 15 ml fresh lime juice. Two dashes of Creole-style bitters and a dash of saline are optional, to sharpen the sweetness.
How do you make a Bubblegum Daiquiri?
Shake the rum, Licor 43, bubble gum syrup, lime juice and the optional bitters and saline hard with ice, then fine-strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a lime wedge, or balance a pack of bubble gum on the rim. Keep the Licor 43 and syrup to 10 ml each; both are sweet, and a heavy pour makes it cloying.
Can you make a frozen Bubblegum Daiquiri?
Yes. Blend the same rum, Licor 43, bubble gum syrup and lime juice with ice instead of shaking. The texture and dilution will differ from this shaken, served-up version.
