Head to head
Cameron’s Kick and Daiquiri side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference, by the numbers
They have no ingredient in common: the Cameron’s Kick has Blended Scotch, Irish whiskey, lemon juice and orgeat, the Daiquiri white rum, lime juice and sugar. In parts, a Cameron’s Kick is 2 Scotch, 2 whiskey, 1 lemon and 1 orgeat; a Daiquiri is 3 rum, 1 lime and ¾ sugar. By volume, the Cameron’s Kick is 67% spirit, 17% syrup and sugar and 16% citrus; the Daiquiri is 65% spirit, 21% citrus and 14% syrup and sugar. Different bottles, similar balance: that makes them close cousins on the ratio map.
The Daiquiri is the stronger drink in the glass (16.6% ABV against 15.9%), but being smaller it holds about the same alcohol (1.35 standard drinks each). Calories are close (about 175 and 169), but the Cameron’s Kick has more sugar (9.4 g against 8.3 g). Both are shaken and served in a coupe.
