Classic Cuban shaken cocktail of white rum, fresh lime juice and superfine sugar.
About Daiquiri
The Daiquiri is a Cuban cocktail whose classic form is a spare combination of rum, lime and sugar. This profile follows the International Bartenders Association formula of white Cuban rum, fresh lime juice and superfine sugar, served without a garnish.
White rum supplies a clean cane-spirit warmth, while fresh lime gives direct tart citrus and sugar rounds the sharp edges. The balance is brisk and dry-leaning rather than frozen, fruity or heavily sweetened.
It is served clear to faintly cloudy and pale in a chilled cocktail glass. Shaking produces a very cold, smooth drink with a light aerated texture and no blended-ice body.
