Cocktail author: not completely sure who invented this specific recipe, but I got it from The Educated Barfly channel.

Daiquiri is a well-known delicious and versatile cocktail, that has inspired countless other drinks. The Montana is one more daiquiri descendant. This particular recipe seems to be an adaptation of Montana Daiquiri (originally created by Lorenzo Antinori and Simone Caporale) and it is remarkably tasty.

Base of the cocktail is lightly-aged blended rum with notes of molasses, tropical fruit and a touch of spice. Kirschwasser further dries the cocktail out, at the same time introducing flavours of cherry and subtle nuttiness of almonds. Lime juice breathes life into the cocktail with refreshing tartness, while simple syrup balances the overall flavour profile.

The Montana is a tasty daiquiri riff with both Caribbean and European influences. Delicious drink and perfect choice for any cocktail enthusiast.
