Classic Daiquiri

The Daiquiri is one of the most perfect and misunderstood cocktails in existence. Far from the blended, sugary resort drinks, a proper Daiquiri is a crisp, balanced shaken cocktail of rum, fresh lime, and a touch of sugar. The secret is using fresh-squeezed lime juice — never bottled — and a quality white rum with some character, like Plantation 3 Stars or Flor de Caña 4yr. Double-strain for a silky, clean texture.
