A classic daiquiri is comprised of three simple ingredients: white (or light) rum, lime juice and sugar (contrary to that sweet, blended, frozen drink it is often confused with). The daiquiri was made popular at the El Floridita bar in Havana, Cuba in the early 1900's, where it was originally served over cracked ice. Kelsey Clark makes her rum daiquiri poolside, where she shakes the cocktail with ice and serves it "up."
Kelsey grew up in Bellingham, Washington. She became interested in cooking during high school and went on to attend culinary school at Johnson & Wales University in Providence. She participated in international programs in Paris as well as a wine school in Koblenz, Germany. Upon graduation, Kelsey received the most prestigious scholarship offered at Johnson & Wales through the Kobrand Wine Company's KOPF Foundation. This award allowed her to travel throughout California, Italy and France through the 2007 grape harvest, working in wineries and gaining hands-on understanding of the wine-making process. Kelsey has worked on Ming Tsai's PBS cooking show "Simply Ming" for six seasons. She has bartended in clubs and bars in Providence, Seattle, and Boston for over 6 years and is currently a producer for how2heroes. Outside of her love of food and wine, Kelsey enjoys running, traveling and spending time with her slightly overweight Bichon Frise, Gingersnap.
