Classic: Appalachian Daiquiri

This bright, local twist on a classic daiquiri celebrates the pawpaw—North America’s largest native fruit and a hidden gem of West Virginia’s forests. Long foraged in the Appalachian region, the custard-like fruit has tropical notes of banana and mango. Use pawpaw puree, or try muddling a fresh deseeded pawpaw in the cocktail shaker. If you can’t get pawpaw, sub in mango puree to evoke its flavor.
