There was a time when the Daiquiri was the height of after-dinner drink sophistication. That time, of course, is gone, but the drink is still delicious. Here, instead of a drink, you make a souffle…and accompany it with coffee and chocolate-flavored drinks.
This card is from the 2-in-1 International Recipe Card Collection, and is After-Dinner Drinks, Card 6.
