Cooking Notes

Any daiquiri recipe that includes honey reminds me of Auntie Mame; as she makes fun of the previous night's host who used honey in his daiquiri. Just then the parents of her nephew's finance invite her into their suburban home to have the marvelous daiquiri (with honey) they learned to make on a cruise.

If you’re worried about seeds, they seem to float to the bottom. No need to do away with them!

The proportions seem right. I didn’t have as much watermelon and maybe added a little too much rum. I only had a gold rum on hand. So I do advise using a lot of watermelon and only adding ice little by little. Also careful not to add too much rum.

This makes an awesome slushie for kids, too. I left out the alcohol and they loved it! Very refreshing drink on a summer afternoon.
