There was no dry January around here. Mainly because we are foodies and empty nesters and I'm in the era where I love to hang out with Mr. Devilish Dish. He's really into cooking lately, and I'm still recovering from the busy holidays so I'm happy he is enjoying the meal preparation. I do wash the dishes, but most of the time while he cooks, I sit on a bar stool at our counter and keep him company. He does this thing where he throws a dish towel over his shoulder and says, "What can I get you to drink Ma'am?" He's just too cute and funny to resist. In addition to honing his cooking skills, he has really honed his bartending skills too. My two favorite cocktails he makes for me are the Hillstone Crisp Martini and this daiquiri. I love anything fruity or floral so it makes sense that I love this flavor profile. This daiquiri isn't your typical poolside frozen drink. This classy cocktail is a tempting combination of rum, maraschino liqueur, lime juice and grapefruit juice. Shaken and served in a coupe glass, it's a sophisticated cocktail, originally created in the 1930s for Ernest Hemingway, who desired a more spirit-forward version of the classic daiquiri. This is crisp, slightly tart, and a beautiful pink hue. It's an ideal drink for spring and summer, or a special occasion. Or in my case, to forget the dreary cold days of winter, and looking forward to sipping this on the patio during warmer weather. The gorgeous pink hue makes it ideal for a Valentine's or Galentine's party too, so enjoy now, and bookmark this recipe so you can make again when warmer weather arrives.
