Sugar Cane & Rum

Classic Daiquiri

Ingredients

Because there are so few ingredients in this drink, use the best you can.

• Rum

  Most rums available at the liquor store are not overly expensive so I definitely recommend that you spend a few extra bucks for a smooth rum. Your taste buds will thank you.
  
  

• Lime Jiuce

  Fresh is required. Period. Don’t even speak of the fake stuff. Your cocktail will taste off.
  
  

• Simple Syrup

  Buy a bottle at the store or you can make at home. Equal parts sugar and water in a jar until dissolved. It’s so easy!

Instructions

The key to a really good daiquiri [or any cocktail for that matter] is balance. With only 3 ingredients, daiquiris rely on striking that perfect balance between sweet and sour.

1. Fill

   a cocktail shaker with ice and add rum, lime juice and simple syrup.
   
   

2. Shake

   vigorously for at least 20 seconds.
   
   

3. Strain

   into a chilled coupe glass and garnish with a lime wheel, if desired. Serve immediately.
