A Daiquiri Variation that will literally kick you in the face!
This cocktail was created by London barman Gregor de Gruyther for LAB in 2005. LAB was one of the most celebrated bars in London and played a pivotal role in the Cocktail renaissance in the UK. LAB which stands for London Academy Of Bartenders was created in 1996 by Douglas Ankrah (creator of The Pornstar Martini) and Richard Hargroves as a means of training new bartenders. It became the LAB bar in 1999. You can read up on it’s influence in Robert Simonson’s book: A Proper Drink. Sadly Gregor De Gruyther passed away suddenly in Sydney Australia in 2009.
