- 60ml Skerries Dark Rum
- 45ml fresh lime juice
- 45ml demerara syrup
- Plenty of ice, for shaking
How to Make a Dark Daiquiri
Chill a coupe glass while you prepare the cocktail.
Add the Skerries Dark Rum, fresh lime juice and demerara syrup to a cocktail shaker.
Fill the shaker generously with ice and shake well until thoroughly chilled.
Double-strain into the chilled coupe. Double-straining removes the small shards of ice and gives the finished cocktail a clean, smooth texture.
Serve immediately and let the dark rum do the talking.
The Perfect Serve
Combine equal measures of demerara sugar and boiling water. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved, then allow the syrup to cool before using.
Skerries Dark Rum
Skerries Dark Rum is made from scratch here on Ynys Môn, starting with fermentation before being distilled, developed and bottled at Llanfairpwll Distillery.
Its deeper and richer character gives it enough weight to stand up to fresh citrus, making it particularly well suited to a darker interpretation of one of rum's great classic cocktails.
The Dark Daiquiri keeps things deliberately simple. Lime brings acidity while demerara syrup adds richness and a deeper sweetness that complements the character of Skerries without hiding it.
