Cocktail Recipe

Sweet
Smoky
Lime

The Islay Daiquiri offers a distinctive twist on the classic Daiquiri by incorporating smoky Lagavulin Scotch whisky alongside the traditional balance of citrus and sweetness. Inspired by the well-known rum cocktail, this variation highlights the bold, peated character that Islay whiskies are famous for, creating a striking contrast with fresh lime and sugar.
