Method

Daiquiri

1

Chill glass

Place a coupe or chilled cocktail glass in the freezer or fill with ice water while preparing the cocktail to thoroughly chill it.

2

Juice the lime

Cut fresh limes and strain to measure 1 oz of fresh lime juice. Avoid bottled juice for best flavor.

3

Add ingredients to shaker

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

4

Add ice and shake

Fill the shaker with about 1 cup of ice. Seal and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds (until the shaker feels very cold) to properly dilute and chill the drink.

5

Prepare glass

If you used ice water to chill the glass, dump it now. Optionally, wet the rim slightly with lime and dip in superfine sugar for a light sweet rim.

6

Double strain and serve

Double-strain the shaken cocktail (using the shaker strainer and a fine mesh strainer) into the chilled coupe or cocktail glass to remove ice shards. This yields a smooth, slightly frothy cocktail.

7

Garnish

Garnish with a lime wheel or twist on the rim or floated on top. If desired, finish with a single dash of Angostura bitters on the foam for aroma.
