What defines a Daisy
A Daisy is essentially a sour with an added modifier, usually an orange liqueur.
That small addition creates more depth and a slightly softer profile.
The structure
The family usually combines spirit, citrus, sweetener, and orange liqueur.
What to expect
Daisies usually feel:
- Bright but slightly rounder than a standard sour
- More layered in citrus flavor
- Slightly more complex
What to try
Start with:
- Margarita
- Sidecar
- Cosmopolitan
The takeaway
Daisies are a great next step after sours, same structure, more nuance.
