Had a Great Time in New Orleans!
Denyse and I had a great time in New Orleans.
We're still drunk from consuming endless Daiquiris.
I think the best Daiquiri made in New Orleans, without a question, is at the Dacquiri Deli on 617 Decatur Street. Conveniently, there is also an ATM in the store, if you run out of cash while downing their delicious Daiquirs.
This is an establishment for purists -- no pina coladas here! The store is technically in the French Quarter, but is discreetly located off the main Bourbon Strip. This is a Daiquiri shop for the serious Daiquiri drinker.
What a town!
We tried some Daiquiri magic last night at home in Manhattan. It is not quite the same as being in New Orleans, but we had a great time. So did the kids and the dog. Try this Daiquiri recipe:
Joe Dressner's Banana Daquiri Mixer
1.5 oz ( 45 ml ) Lower Shelf white rum
1.5 oz (45ml) banana liqueur
1 oz( 30ml) creme de cacao
1 large ripe banana (broken into chunks)
12 ice cubes
Put all the ingredients in a Hamilton Beach Blender (put ice in first, then liquids). Break up most of the ice then blend until no chunks of ice remain. Pour into tall glasses. Makes two drinks. Repeat seven times to serve two people.
Substitute the banana liqueur with a bottle of DuBoeuf's 2003 Beaujolais Villages Nouveau and call it a Diplomatic Daquiri. C'mon you know you love the guy.
