Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients and tools needed for making the daiquiri. You will need a cocktail shaker, jigger for measuring, and a strainer.

  2. 2

    Juicing the Limes

    Cut the lime in half and use a citrus juicer to extract 1 oz of fresh lime juice. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Making Simple Syrup

    If you don't have simple syrup ready, you can make it by dissolving equal parts sugar and water. Combine 1 part sugar and 1 part water in a saucepan over medium heat, stir until dissolved, and cool before using.

Mixing the Drink

    Combine Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of white rum, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and 0.75 oz of simple syrup.

  2. 5

    Shake the Mixture

    Fill the shaker with ice cubes (about halfway) and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.

  3. 6

    Strain and Serve

    Using a strainer, pour the mixture into a chilled coupe or martini glass.

Garnishing

  1. 7

    Add the Lime Wedge
