At Tiki Tolteca, these Daiquiris are pulled straight from the slushy machine, but Bar Director Nathan Dalton shares this single-serve variation. “Don’t get a brain freeze,” he says.
- 2 ounces light rum (like Old New Orleans Crystal Louisiana Rum)
- ½ ounce overproof rum (like Wray & Nephew Overproof White Rum)
- 1 ounce simple syrup
- 1 ounce grapefruit juice
- 1 ounce lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur
Combine all ingredients and 1 cup of ice in a blender, and blend until smooth. Pour into a tiki mug or rocks glass.
