Episode 130: Best-Of—The Great Daiquiri Roundtable, with Joshua Ibañez, Shannon Mustipher, and Garret Richard

[This episode originally ran June 18, 2024.] The Daiquiri is an undisputed champion of the cocktail world, and its simple formula not only offers the promise of a complex character, but it’s also a great starting point for endless exploration. For this episode, we take a deep dive into all things Daiquiri with a roundtable discussion including some of today’s top Daiquiri practitioners: Joshua Ibañez, former bar manager at Rumba in Seattle and an Imbibe 75 alum; Shannon Mustipher, another Imbibe 75 alumnus and author of Tiki: Modern Tropical Cocktails; and Garret Richard, co-author (with Ben Schaffer) of Tropical Standard, and bar manager at Sunken Harbor Club in Brooklyn.
