Notes
Tips for the Best Daiquiri
- Fresh Lime Juice: Always use fresh lime juice for the best flavor. Bottled lime juice can be too acidic or lack the bright, fresh taste that makes a Daiquiri special.
- Simple Syrup: Make your own simple syrup by dissolving equal parts sugar and water over low heat, then letting it cool. Store in the refrigerator for up to a month.
- Shaking: Shake the cocktail well to properly chill and dilute the drink, achieving the perfect balance of flavors.
The Classic Daiquiri is a beautifully simple cocktail that perfectly balances the bright citrus of lime with the smooth sweetness of rum and simple syrup.
