We were supposed to get a chance to garnish these drinks when we were sitting with Sandra Lee, but we ran out of time. We got to drink them instead. I really liked the flavor of this daiquiri.
Ingredients
- 1 orange
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 pint fresh strawberries
- 4 ounces rum, optional
Instructions
- Using a vegetable peeler or zester, remove the zest of the orange, taking care to leave the pith behind.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat whisk together the sugar with 1/4 cup water and the orange zest. Bring to a simmer and remove from heat. Cool to room temperature.
- Reserve 4 strawberries for garnish and remove the hulls and roughly chop the remainder. Add the strawberries with the juice of the orange to a blender and fill with ice. Add the cooled orange simple syrup and blend until smooth. Add the rum, if desired, and blend. Pour into glasses and garnish with reserved strawberries.
This recipe is by Sandra Lee and I didn’t actually make it. I just tasted it at the Sandra Lee event in NYC.







I was recently sent
The 2009 Crimson & Clover, Conservancy is a velvety blend of signature Livermore varietals. Aromas of currant, clove, and vanilla lead into bright, fruit flavors of blackberry on the palate. The spicy finish is soft and long with hints of leather and tobacco. A tribute to the “Father of America’s First Petite Sirah,” Jim Concannon, from his son John, this wine epitomizes the innovative, steadfast spirit of Jim. Bold and lusciously fruity, the backbone of Petite Sirah gives this blend fantastic depth and structure.
