This cocktail with maraschino liqueur combines the classic daiquiri ingredients (white rum and freshly squeezed lime juice) with tart grapefruit juice for a refreshing cocktail with a perfect balance of tart and sweet flavors. Simple to make and deliciously unique, it's a classic drink with a twist.
Squeeze a lime and a grapefruit separately, and set the juices aside.
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz White rum, ½ oz Maraschino liqueur, ¾ oz Lime juice, and ½ oz Grapefruit juice. Add 1 barspoon Sugar syrup if desired.
