At Bar Kabawa in New York's East Village, Kathryn "Pepper" Stashek presents a cocktail menu emphasizing rum, steeped heavily in Prohibition-era Cuban influences. Stashek's journey led her to revive the Golden Glove cocktail, which she discovered in a 1934 El Floridita recipe booklet. This drink, a variation of the classic Daiquiri No. 2, uses aged Jamaican rum and is blended to frozen perfection. Stashek aims to reshape perceptions of frozen Daiquiris, demonstrating their rich mixological history that transcends modern tourist associations.
"I have to imagine that Constante [Ribalaigua Vert] maybe had a similar evolutionary process when he was developing this drink, taking [the Daiquiri No. 2] and improving it."
"It's important to show that frozen Daiquiris have an important mixological past predating their association with tourist traps and chain restaurants."
