Every bartender worth a damn I’ve ever talked to has said: “Drink what you like.” Even if you have a booze geek’s palate that might occasionally include a species of beverage abused for being very sweet and very frozen.

On the Strip, these cocktails are often called “daiquiris,” though the real thing is rum, lime and sugar without any ice, let alone blended and served in a busty plastic torso. But if you let Vegas’ frozen daiquiri be what it is, a refreshing punch of fruity, boozy coldness mellowing the heat and party fatigue, it can be just perfect.
