More information...

The Prohibition Daisy is a vibrant and refreshing cocktail that embodies the spirit of the Roaring Twenties, a time when creativity flourished despite the constraints of Prohibition. This drink is a delightful concoction that combines a medley of fresh fruit juices with a touch of sweetness from raspberry sugar syrup, making it a perfect choice for those who enjoy a fruity and tangy beverage without the bite of alcohol.

At its core, the Prohibition Daisy features a harmonious blend of freshly squeezed juices: orange, lime, and lemon, which provide a bright and zesty foundation. The addition of pineapple juice adds a tropical flair, while the raspberry sugar syrup introduces a luscious sweetness that balances the tartness of the citrus. This combination not only creates a visually appealing drink with its vibrant colors but also offers a complex flavor profile that dances on the palate.

To prepare the Prohibition Daisy, one simply combines 30 ml of freshly squeezed orange juice, 15 ml each of lime and lemon juice, and 30 ml of pineapple juice in a shaker. The raspberry sugar syrup, at 30 ml, is the secret ingredient that elevates this drink from a simple juice mix to a cocktail experience. After filling the shaker with ice and shaking it vigorously, the mixture is strained into a glass, resulting in a chilled, refreshing beverage that is perfect for any occasion.

Interestingly, the Prohibition Daisy is a non-alcoholic drink, boasting an alcohol content of 0% and containing no standard drinks. This makes it an excellent choice for those who are looking to enjoy a festive drink without the effects of alcohol. With only 150 calories per serving, it is also a relatively light option for those mindful of their caloric intake. The absence of alcohol does not detract from the enjoyment of this cocktail; rather, it allows the natural flavors of the fruits to shine through, making it a favorite among both non-drinkers and those who simply want a refreshing beverage.

The Prohibition Daisy is not just a drink; it is a nod to a fascinating era in American history. During the Prohibition, when the sale of alcoholic beverages was banned, many bartenders and mixologists became incredibly inventive, creating non-alcoholic drinks that could still be enjoyed in social settings. The Daisy family of cocktails, which includes various iterations with different spirits, was popular during this time, and the Prohibition Daisy serves as a modern interpretation that pays homage to that creativity.

In terms of taste, the Prohibition Daisy leans towards the sweet side, thanks to the raspberry syrup, but the citrus juices provide a refreshing tartness that keeps it from being overly sugary. This balance makes it an ideal drink for warm weather, outdoor gatherings, or simply as a delightful treat to enjoy at home.

In conclusion, the Prohibition Daisy is a charming cocktail that captures the essence of a bygone era while remaining relevant today. Its combination of fresh juices and sweet raspberry syrup creates a drink that is both delicious and visually appealing, making it a perfect choice for anyone looking to indulge in a refreshing, non-alcoholic beverage.

The story goes, that it was difficult to pronounce coquetier, was likely mis-pronounced, and quickly the word cocktail caught on as a new word.
