Cocktail Colin says:
The Orange Daiquiri is a sun-kissed melody of citrus and rum that dazzles the palate; the gold rum provides a deep, wistful sweetness which is lifted by the vivacity of fresh orange and lime juices. The added sugar syrup diplomatically balances the concoction, ensuring that the drink is neither too tart nor overly sweet, making it an exquisitely harmonious choice for any summer celebration or a tranquil sunset watch.

FAQ's
What type of rum should I use for an Orange Daiquiri?
For an Orange Daiquiri, using gold rum is recommended as it offers a richer flavor compared to white rum, while not overpowering the delicate balance of orange and lime juices. Gold rum adds a slight sweetness and complexity that enhances the cocktail.
Can I use bottled orange juice for this cocktail?
While fresh-squeezed orange juice is preferred for its freshness and to avoid added sugars or preservatives found in some bottled juices, you can use high-quality, 100% pure bottled orange juice as an alternative. However, fresh juice will provide a brighter flavor.
Is the Orange Daiquiri very sweet?
The Orange Daiquiri is not overly sweet. The sweetness level can be easily adjusted to personal taste by modifying the amount of sugar syrup used. The tartness from the lime juice also helps balance the sweetness to create a refreshing cocktail.
How can I adjust the alcohol content in an Orange Daiquiri?
To adjust the alcohol content, you can vary the amount of gold rum. For a stronger cocktail, add more rum, and for a lighter version, reduce the amount of rum accordingly. Please note, adjusting the rum quantity will also change the total volume of the cocktail.
What is the proper way to serve an Orange Daiquiri?
An Orange Daiquiri is best served cold in a cocktail glass. It's typically not shaken or stirred but carefully mixed to preserve the delicate balance of flavors. To ensure it's cold, you can chill the glass beforehand and serve the cocktail over a small amount of crushed ice or neat, depending on preference.

I used white rum instead of gold cuz that's all I had. It still tasted great! Nice and refreshing. Simple to make. I'll make it again for sure.
I tried this and it's a delicious blend! The balance of citrus and rum shines through, although I'd suggest adding a dash of fresh mint for an aromatic twist. It might sound odd, but a touch of cinnamon syrup instead of sugar could also add a lovely depth.
