  • Recipe Submitted by on

Category: Cocktails

 Ingredients List

  • 1 1/2 oz Rum
  • 3/4 oz simple syrup
  • 3/4 oz fresh squeezed lime juice

 Directions

1. Shake with ice and strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with a lime.

2. The best place to start with the classic daiquiri is with a white rum like Bacardi Supreme, Brugal Especial Extra Dry, Angostura Reserva, or Denizen Rum. Starting with a white rum shows off the dry quality of this cocktail and makes it a perfect aperitif cocktail that holds its own against other great aperitifs like the martini.

3. The daiquiri can also stand in as an ideal after dinner drink if you choose a more complex rum like Banks Five Island Rum or a darker rum like Appleton Estates ”“ you get something that tastes completely different. Using darker sugars for your simple syrup like demerara also dramatically transforms the drink.

4. The daiquiri may have gotten a bad rap from its time spent as a blended slushy, but it is truly one of the world”™s great cocktails, one that when prepared correctly will impress even the most picky of imbibers.
