Daiquiri

This drink is a classic for a reason and there are numerous versions. I keep mine simple by using a white rum from the Dominican Republic – Vizcaya Cristal. This can be hard to find so use your favorite flavorful white rum. -Elizabeth

Ingredients

• 2 oz white rum
• 1 oz lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 oz simple syrup
• Lime wheel for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Add all ingredients (minus lime wheel) to a shaker and fill with enough ice to cover all the liquid.
2. Shake until very cold (20-30 seconds) and double strain into a chilled coupe, martini or nick and nora glass. Can also strain into a rocks glass filled with ice cubes or an ice ball.

Note

• Double strain or fine straining means to strain the drink through two strainers: a cocktail strainer and a fine mesh strainer.
