Making a classic Daiquiri:
Ingredients:
2 oz white rum
3/4 oz simple syrup (1:1 ratio of water to sugar)
3/4 oz fresh lime juice
Ice
Lime wheel or wedge for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the Ingredients:
Measure out 2 ounces of white rum, 3/4 ounce of simple syrup, and 3/4 ounce of fresh lime juice.
Fill the Shaker with Ice:
Fill a cocktail shaker with a generous amount of ice. This will help chill and properly dilute the ingredients.
Add the Ingredients to the Shaker:
Pour the measured white rum, simple syrup, and fresh lime juice into the shaker.
Shake Well:
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake the ingredients vigorously for about 10-15 seconds. This helps chill the drink and ensures proper mixing.
Strain Into Glass:
Use a strainer to pour the contents of the shaker into a chilled martini or cocktail glass.
Garnish (Optional):
Optionally, garnish the drink with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim of the glass.
Serve and Enjoy:
Your classic Daiquiri is ready to be enjoyed! The balance of rum, lime, and sweetness makes for a refreshing and timeless cocktail.
Feel free to adjust the ratio of simple syrup to lime juice based on your personal taste preferences. Some people prefer a slightly sweeter or more tart Daiquiri. Experiment with the proportions to find the balance that suits you best. Cheers!
