This is not a Daiquiri, but the drink sure has gutss

When you want to cut back on alcohol, but you really have your favourite recipes… it’s sometimes hard to find decent replacement products. For that reason, I find it sometimes hard to mix up a good-quality mocktail. I was already intrigued when I received a bottle that claimed to be a good replacement for rum. Would I be able to serve my better half a Daiquiri-style drink, but without the alcohol? 

Gutss is a Belgian non-alcohol premium drink range, claiming to work pretty well in lots of recipes. It doesn’t contain any alcohol, but still has that typical “alcohol bite” you need to mix up a good cocktail. It brings "body" to your drink. In the range, they have two different gin replacements, an Italian spritz and a Cuban spiced rum replacement. The last one is on our test bar at this moment. This product can be used to create non-alcohol variations on the Dark ‘n Stormy, Cuba Libre or Mojito. So, let’s try a fruity variation on the Daiquiri.
