Daiquiri

Daiquiri
3 mins preparation,

The first half of the last decade saw a major uptick in rum sales, and growing cocktail culture certainly had a very large part to play in this.

The Daiquiri is perhaps the quintessential rum cocktail. This recipe goes a bit easy on the lime and but if you have an acid palate you can up the quantity of lime juice particularly with a white rum.  Easy to make at home.

3/8 part sugar syrup*
