Nuclear Daiquiri (cocktail)

Not a drink for the timid. Gregor de Gruyther created it in 2005 at LAB bar in London, pairing overproof unaged Jamaican rum with a big pour of green Chartreuse, lime and falernum. It tastes like a Daiquiri turned up to full volume: funky, herbal, sharp and seriously strong, served straight up in a chilled coupe. One is usually enough. Choose it when a regular Daiquiri feels too polite, or as a nightcap, and skip it if you prefer your rum drinks soft and fruity.
