Often misunderstood as an overly sweet, alcoholic slushy, when made well, a Daiquiri is quite literally a simple stunner that really should be given a second chance.
Ingredients
2oz rum (we recommend Havana Club 3 year old rum)
1oz lime syrup
¾ oz sugar syrup*
garnish lime twist
*N.B. this cocktail will work with strawberry / banana syrup also
Method
Pour all the ingredients into a shaker with ice cubes.
Shake well.
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and add the garnish.
