The Indigo Daiquiri
About
The Indigo Daiquiri cocktail is a modern take on the classic rum sour, built with clarity and contrast in mind. Clean Bacardi White Rum forms the backbone, allowing the fruit and citrus to do the talking. Blueberry syrup brings a deep, floral sweetness and rich color, while fresh lemon juice sharpens the edges and keeps the drink tight and refreshing.
This isn’t a sugary fruit cocktail. It’s crisp, balanced, and structured, with a smooth texture that feels polished rather than playful. Served straight up in a chilled coupe, the Indigo Daiquiri looks striking and drinks even better. It’s the kind of cocktail that feels equally at home at a dinner party or a quiet night in - familiar in format, but elevated in flavor and presentation.
Shaken or Stirred? Shaken. Shaking gives the drink its smooth texture and clean citrus balance.
