Nuclear Daiquiri
Slightly green and highly potent with 126 proof unaged Jamaican rum and 110 proof Green Chartreuse, this is a Daiquiri riff with a kick.
There are a number of slightly different variations of this with different ratios and occasionally no falernum. They all use Green Chartreuse, unaged overproof Jamaican rum, and lime juice, though. I have seen equal parts 3/4 oz for each of those, another with 1.5 oz rum, and another with 1 oz rum and 1 oz lime juice. I went somewhere in the middle and bumped up the rum just a bit and slightly reduced the falernum since I am using the sweeter John D. Taylor's Velvet Falernum (plus the original ratios are in milliliters which don't quite align anyway). Play with the ratios and see what works for you.
A cocktailsandbars.com post makes note of a variation of this which includes rye whiskey called the Nuclear Daiquirye which is intriguing.
