 | We have another 'drink day' coming up and in this round we are celebrating the Daiquiri. National Daiquiri Day falls on Saturday (the 19th) and to celebrate I'm not only sharing the Daiquiri, but a new recipe that I've been playing with. Also, look around for the freshest ingredients right now and take advantage of the season before it's over! Enjoy, cheers!

 Here is a unique taste that I think many of you will enjoy. It is a daiquiri with the fantastic combination of rhubarb and rosemary and it is as delicious as it sounds. If you are a rhubarb fan or are a gardener trying to use up this year's crop, this drink is a great option and is actually quite easy, despite having to make the rhubarb juice and rosemary syrup (they're worth a little effort).

| The Original Daiquiri
 Now that we have a new daiquiri, let's talk about the 'original.' This classic cocktail is as simple as they come: shake rum, lime, and syrup, strain, and enjoy. That is really it and if you're prone to buying those ready-made daiquiris, give this a try and I dare say that you will be converted to the freshness. The key is to find that balance of sweet and sour that perfectly compliment a great rum and fits your personal taste. Get the recipe (and more daiquiris)...

 Agave nectar is a beautiful thing and is a great cocktail ingredient. Its usefulness goes beyond what comes right out of the bottle and can be infused with flavor just like any syrup. This recipe for a Queen Bee includes a great technique for adding a hint of rosemary to the sweet nectar and it's a trick that can be used with other herbs as well. Get the recipe...
| Infuse While It's Fresh
 Most of us are in the prime of the summer season and the gardens are just beginning to peak. That means that this is the perfect time to start a few homemade infusions. Look around your garden and the local markets for fresh fruits, herbs, and even veggies that you can add to your favorite spirits. Try a new flavor or combination and don't stop at vodka, either. Rum, tequila, and even whiskies are great candidates for infusions, so start experimenting! Infusion tips, recipes, and more...
