Spring Fling: Cranberry Daiquiri

Spring is here and that means that it is time for a whole new crop of cocktails. All this month I plan to feature various spring-worthy mixed drinks. To get us started, how about a Daiquiri,? a Cranberry Daiquiri to be exact.

This is a fun cocktail with all of the basic Daiquiri elements of rum, lime, and sweetener, however the twist comes in with the extra ingredients. At first glance, you may think this may entail the simple addition of cranberry, but you would be wrong because we have some herbal elements to include. It is the addition of tarragon and elderflower that make this drink really interesting, bringing everything together in harmony.

If you are in LA this spring and are in the mood to sample this drink from the source, stop by the W Los Angeles Hotel and sit down at either the Ninethirty or The Backyard. These are the restaurants mixologist Stephanie Sanders created this lovely little drink for.
