Head to head
Cosmonaut 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 Cosmonaut has gin, lemon juice and raspberry jam, the Daiquiri white rum, lime juice and sugar. In parts, a Cosmonaut is 2¾ gin, 1 lemon and ¾ raspberry jam; a Daiquiri is 3 rum, 1 lime and ¾ sugar. By volume, the Cosmonaut is 61% spirit, 23% citrus and 16% syrup and sugar; 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 16.1%), but being smaller it holds about the same alcohol (1.35 standard drinks each). Calories are close (about 165 and 169), but the Daiquiri has more sugar (8.3 g against 5.4 g). Both are shaken and served in a coupe.
