The Classic Daiquiri is one of the easiest cocktails to make (just 3 ingredients), but the result is light and delicious. For Friday Happy Hour this week we thought we’d make a Classic Daiquiri using a bottle of Banks 5 Island Rum that we had just received, and the resulting cocktail was very nice. A very nice balance of sweet and tart.

The Classic Daiquiri

Exactly what a daiquiri should taste like!

Servings:

Ingredients

2 oz Light or Silver Rum
1 oz plus 1 tsp Lime Juice (fresh is always best!)
1/2 oz Simple Syrup

Instructions

Gently shake all ingredients over ice. Strain into a glass and garnish with lime.
The traditional Daiquiri is slightly tart, so if you like a sweeter drink, increase the amount of simple syrup or decrease the amount of lime by 1 tsp.
