Recipe: Robaire’s Daiquiri

This recipe has a century of development.  Half a century of my father, Pierre Marot Purves and half a century of my huspand Robert Van Buren Pollard. I remember as a child, competing with brothers to have the privilege of smashing the ice cubes in a canvas bag with a wood mallet.  Pierre also made a mean Old Fashioned, but even after I reached the exalted age 21 (which was when my father allowed us to have a cocktail in his house), I could never get past the first sip of  his Old Fashioned, His daiquiri was another story.  I used to go back and pour what was left over in his cocktail  shaker and pour it into my coupe glass. I still do. 

Robaire's Daiquiri
This daiquiri represents a century of experience: 50 years from my father, Pierre Marot Purves and 50 years from my husband, Robert Pollard.
