Servings: 1 drink
Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 4 persimmons 3 sliced and frozen for at least 6 hours
- 3 ounces simple syrup
- ½ tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 ounces white rum
- 1-2 tablespoons water as needed to thin out drink
Instructions
- Freeze 3 persimmons for at least 6 hours. Remove the leaves and core, cut them into slices and put in a sealed container in the freezer.
- Once persimmons are frozen, peel and core the remaining fresh one. Put it in the blender first.
- Then add simple syrup, lemon juice, rum, then the frozen persimmons. Add a tablespoon of water too.
- Blend until throughly pureed. Add another few tablespoons of water as needed to thin the drink out enough to be able to drink it through a straw, but still icy.
- Pour into daiquiri or preferred glassware, and garnish with a little umbrella, a thick straw, mint leaves, and a slice of persimmon as desired.
