We've had some good friends to visit over the weekend and of course drunk many good cocktails. One of them was an especially nice daiquiri which I named Vanilla Daiquiri.

It is based on the Embury's 8:2:1 formula but instead of using simple syrup I used Monin's Vanilla Syrup. This makes for a lovely smooth vanilla infused daiquiri.

Recipe:

• 2 shots Ron Barceló rum
• 1/2 shot lime juice
• 1/4 shot Monin Vanilla syrup

Pour all ingredients into shaker. Shake well, and if you are using big blocks of ice allow to dilute a little extra. Fine strain into cocktail glass and garnish with a lime wedge on the rim.

Enjoy!
