Michael Ruhlman's Sour Orange Daiquiri

 

Ann Hood with Lucy and Elise Hart Kipness

LUCY BURDETTE: I am reading Ann Hood‘s memoir called Fly Girl this week, which is the story of her time as a flight attendant. She’s such a good writer she can make any subject interesting! But that’s a side note to say, we had Ann and her lovely husband, the food writer, Michael Ruhlman visiting Key West last February as part of our Friends of the Key West library speaker series. We also asked him if he would prepare a special cocktail for our major donor party. This is what he made! It was delicious and went down oh so easily. (Which will explain my dirth of photos...)

Michal Ruhlman's Sour Orange Daiquiri

2 ounces white rum

1/2 ounce lime juice

1/4 ounce orange juice 3⁄4 ounce

3/4 ounce simple syrup

1 orange twist

Combine the rum, lime juice, orange juice, and simple syrup in a mixing glass, add ice, and shake until chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe or an old-fashioned glass over ice. Garnish with the orange twist.
