Daiquiri

Method

Daiquiri

1

Chill glass

Place a coupe or chilled cocktail glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice and water while you prepare the drink to ensure the cocktail stays crisp and cold.

2

Prepare glass rim (optional)

If you prefer a lightly sugared rim, rub the edge of the chilled glass with a lime wedge, then dip the rim into a small plate with the superfine sugar so it adheres evenly. Tap off excess.

3

Measure ingredients

Measure 2 oz white rum, 1 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.75 oz simple syrup into a cocktail shaker.

4

Add ice and shake

Fill the shaker with approximately 1 cup of ice. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds (about 12–15 shakes) until the outside of the shaker becomes very cold and you hear the ice well broken. This both chills and dilutes the drink to the ideal balance.

5

Prepare serving (optional crushed ice)

If you prefer a slushy/styled Daiquiri, discard the chilling ice from the glass and add 1/2 cup crushed ice. Otherwise, keep the glass empty and chilled for a straight-up serve.

6

Double strain and serve

Open the shaker and double-strain the contents through a fine mesh strainer (to catch small ice shards and pulp) into the prepared chilled coupe (or over the crushed ice if using).

7

Garnish and finish

Float or rest a lime wheel or twist on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately while very cold.
