Classic Daiquiri

Simple but delicious.

I’ll be honest, for the longest time the word daiquiri conjured up a sweet, slushy drink mixed with alcohol and it was not something I got particularly excited about. That all changed when I discovered what a real daiquiri is: refreshing, delicious and bares next to no resemblance to boozy slush.

While there are several variations of the daiquiri, like the Hemingway Daiquiri, a classic daiquiri uses just 3 ingredients:

2 oz white rum
1 oz fresh lime juice
0.75 oz simple syrup

Shake with ice, serve in a double rocks glass filled with ice.
