History
The Ginger Beer Daiquiri is a modern variation credited to American bartender Audrey Saunders, who created it in 2006 in New York City. It leaves the rum out of the rum, lime, and sugar formula of the classic Daiquiri and lets ginger beer, with optional aromatic bitters, stand in for it, giving a spicier, fizzier take that is virtually alcohol-free.
FAQ
What is in a Ginger Beer Daiquiri?
Fresh lime juice, sugar syrup and ginger beer (30 ml, 15 ml and 60 ml), with two optional dashes of Angostura bitters. The bitters are the only alcohol, so without them the drink is alcohol-free.
How do you make a ginger beer daiquiri?
Shake the lime juice, sugar syrup, and bitters (if using) with ice, then strain into an ice-filled old-fashioned glass, top with the ginger beer, and garnish with a lime wedge. Adding the ginger beer last keeps its fizz intact.
