DAIQUIRI

Steps:

• Shake all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker and strain into a cocktail glass. 3 TWISTSStrawberry daiquiriThis cocktail should only be attempted with fruit that's really ripe and sweet - if the berries are the big, bland variety from the chiller cabinet, the end result will just taste of mush. Allow one large handful of hulled strawberries for each cocktail. Place them in the empty shaker and give them a gentle crush with a muddler or pestle, then add the other ingredients and shake as normal and strain into your cocktail glass. Out of season, you could also make a version of this drink using Funkin strawberry purée which will be almost as good. Hemingway's 'Papa Doble' daiquiriThe writer Ernest Hemingway drank at El Floridita in Havana so often they ended up creating a daiquiri recipe especially for him called the Papa Doble, made with a quadruple measure of white rum, lime, grapefruit juice and maraschino liqueur. I don't think many of us could handle a drink this size - as delicious as it is - so I've scaled it back a bit: 50ml white rum, 15ml pink grapefruit juice, 15ml lime juice, 15ml Luxardo maraschino liqueur, 5ml sugar syrup, shaken and strained into a cocktail glass or blended with ice, depending on what you prefer. La Terraza's blue daiquiriAnother place Hemingway liked to drink when he went fishing was a little waterside bar about 10 miles outside Havana called La Terraza. La Terraza's signature daiquiri is made with blue curaçao, so it's the colour of a lagoon. You can make one too, simply by substituting 15ml Bols Blue curaçao in a normal daiquiri in place of the sugar syrup. A delicious guilty pleasure on a summer's day, especially with a cocktail umbrella.

FROZEN STRAWBERRY DAIQUIRI PIE

Steps:

• For the shortbread crust: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F. Process the cookies, sugar, butter, rum and salt in a food processor until the texture of wet sand. Press the crumbs evenly into the bottom and up the side of a 9-inch glass pie plate. Bake until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
• For the sorbet filling: Mix the lime juice and rum in a measuring cup; set aside. Scoop 1 pint of the sorbet onto the bottom of the cooled crust, placing scoops evenly. Let stand until spreadable, about 5 minutes. Smooth the sorbet with an offset spatula, carefully covering the bottom of the crust. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the rum mixture very slowly over the sorbet, allowing it to soak in. Repeat with the remaining sorbet and rum mixture. Smooth the top with the spatula. Loosely cover the pie with plastic wrap, and transfer to the freezer while preparing the whipped cream.
• For the lime whipped cream: Beat the corn syrup, lime juice, rum and lime zest in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined. Add the heavy cream, and beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Remove the pie from the freezer, and quickly spread with the whipped cream, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the outside edge. Loosely cover the pie, and freeze until firm, at least 6 hours or overnight.
