What the Judges Said: “Ryan apparently has issues with frozen daiquiris and so do we. He treats this daiquiri with the respect it deserves and elevates it with grilled pineapple, which is a clever touch. We were skeptical of the mescal rinse, yet its slightly smokey character complemented the fire-kissed pineapple. After a couple sips, we were shamed for all the horrible frozen daiquiris we drank in our youth. Thankfully, the price of salvation is only $11.”
