F.A.F. Daiquiri

Jim Kearns, Slowly Shirley | New York City

“There’s a Don the Beachcomber quote, ‘What one rum can’t do, three rums can,’” says Jim Kearns. “If you swap in different types of rum, you will always create a more complex flavor profile—the rums will play off of each other.” The approach, which has become something of a go-to move. Here he incorporates no fewer than five base rums and introduces both Trinidadian and Guyanese examples into the mix.
