Classic Daiquiri

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Drinks
The Daiquiri is the textbook definition of a 'sour'. The secret is the 'holy trinity' balance: spirit (rum), sour (lime), and sweet (sugar). It tolerates no errors; with so few ingredients, quality is everything. A good Daiquiri isn't sweet or sour, but a vibrating blend of both.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Shaker
  • Chilled Coupe or Martini Glass
  • Fine Strainer
  • Citrus Juicer

Instructions

1 ✓

Chill your glass with ice.

Tip: Pre-chilling keeps the cocktail crisp until the last sip.
2 ✓

Pour syrup and lime juice into the shaker, then add the rum.

Tip: Using syrup is better than granulated sugar, which doesn't dissolve well in cold alcohol.
3 ✓

Fill with ice, seal, and shake vigorously until the shaker is painfully cold (approx 15 sec).

Tip: Shaking provides dilution. The water melt is essential to open up flavors and soften the alcohol burn.
4 ✓

Strain through a fine mesh sieve into the chilled glass and serve.

Tip: Fine straining removes ice shards for a velvety texture.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use brown sugar?
Traditionally white syrup is used for clarity, but brown sugar adds a deep caramel note (though it darkens the drink).

Ingredients

  • 2 oz White Rum (High Quality)
  • 1 oz Fresh Lime Juice
  • 0.5 oz Simple Syrup (1:1 sugar/water)
