Daiquiri

White rum, fresh lime, sugar. The platonic ideal of a cocktail — bright, sharp, clean, with nothing hiding behind.

  • Fresh Lime Juice¾ ounce
  • Simple Syrup½ ounce

Directions

Combine rum, lime juice, and simple syrup in a shaker with ice. Shake hard for 12-15 seconds. Double-strain into a chilled coupe.

Notes

If your daiquiri is bad, the ingredients are bad. Use fresh lime, real sugar, and a quality light rum (Plantation 3 Stars, Flor de Caña 4).
