We gave the daiquiri a touch of Midwestern beauty with our rhubarb, lemon verbena, and chamomile tea, Days of Heaven. This herbal tea blend transforms white rum into a modern aromatic infusion. This fruity floral cocktail is a delightful opener for a dinner party al fresco. Serve it up in either a coupe or a Nick and Nora glass.
