My grandmother used to make daiquiris in a similar way to your recipe. She did blend ice into it, but the flavor was a strong rum cocktail with a lime twist. Aside from the ice, the recipe was <a href="http://www.gretchenspantry.com/recipe/gretchens-daiquiri.aspx" rel="nofollow">very similar</a>. I agree with your post -a traditional daiquiri is "adult" and "dignified" -it's a regular cocktail, not a tropical fruit drink. It also seems more like something Hemingway might consume. :) Thanks for this interesting explanation. My grandmother used to make daiquiris in a similar way to your recipe.

If you don't like the pulp, stay away from those drinks with it in there. I hate, I mean HATE tomato juice. So, anything with tomato juice in it is OUT in my book--bloody mary, others that I am sure a fine drinks. Just don't like the tomato juice. And that is my two cents. Sorry Rob the Fan.

I'm not normally a rum drinker, so I need a few more before I can form a valid opinion. My wife did love this drink though.<br /> <br /> Anybody have any tips on using fresh lime juice and not getting a drink full of pulp? Tried my first one last night.

I had often wondered how it was possible that my man Hemingway could be a Daquiri drinker. Now I understand. La Floridita ain't no TGIFriday's. Thanks for that explanation, Robert.
