Jocelyn Morin, owner of Tern Club in Knoxville, Tennessee, adds complexity to her take on the Daiquiri with a few modifiers. In lieu of simple syrup, she uses a richer Demerara syrup, and balances it out with a couple dashes each of saline solution and “Herbstura,” an equal-parts blend of Herbsaint liqueur and Angostura bitters.
