🍹 Rum Cocktail
Daiquiri
White rum, lime, sugar. Three ingredients, shaken hard, nothing else. It's the most underrated cocktail in existence because everyone assumes it means the blended, frozen, artificially colored version. It doesn't.
🧪 Ingredients
- 60ml white rum
- 25ml fresh lime juice
- 20ml simple syrup (1:1)
📋 Method
- Add rum, lime juice, and simple syrup to a shaker with ice.
- Shake hard for 12-15 seconds until ice-cold.
- Double-strain into a chilled coupe glass.
- No garnish needed, though a lime wheel is traditional.
Bartender's Notes
Fresh lime juice is non-negotiable here; bottled juice ruins it completely. Use a rum with some backbone, not a light, neutral mixing rum. Adjust the sugar slightly depending on how tart your limes are.
