One of three featured drinks on Room for Improvement’s dedicated Daiquiri menu, this spin on the modern classic subs in génépy for the expected Chartreuse. The small but considered change is typical of the bar’s approach, which sticks to the classics, often incorporating subtle tweaks, like using “cranpari” cordial in their house Cosmo.
