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 cold water while you prepare the drink, then discard the ice/water before straining.
- 2
Measure and add
Measure 2 oz white rum, 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice, and 0.75 oz simple syrup. Pour all three ingredients into a cocktail shaker.
- 3
Add ice
Fill the shaker with enough ice to nearly fill it (about 1 cup) so the drink chills quickly and dilutes to the right level.
- 4
Shake
Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds (or about 15–20 firm shakes) until the outside of the shaker becomes very cold and slightly frosted. This both chills and properly dilutes the cocktail.
- 5
Strain
Double-strain the mixture into the chilled coupe or cocktail glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer (or just a Hawthorne if you don't have a fine strainer) to remove small ice chips and any lime pulp.
- 6
Garnish and serve
Garnish with a lime wheel or a twist on the rim. Serve immediately.
