Cocktail Hour: Georgetown Daiquiri
Posted by Arctic Wolf on May 25, 2018
The Diamond Distillery sits at East Bank next to the Demerara River near Georgetown, Guyana. The Distillery is home to Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL), the producers of El Dorado Rum.
Recently I embarked on a cocktail series where I am attempting to produce a signature cocktail for many of the El Dorado Premium Rums which I have enjoyed over the past 10 years. A few weeks ago I published my signature cocktail for the El Dorado 3 Year Old Cask Aged Rum (The Caribbean Queen), and today I am sharing my signature cocktail for the El Dorado 8 Year old Cask Aged Rum. This cocktail combines the complimentary flavours of orange and chocolate with the premium El Dorado Rum. It is named for the City of Georgetown, which lies just to the south of Diamond Distillery.
