How to Make the Perfect Daiquiri | Recipe
How to Make the Perfect Daiquiri – a cocktail you definitely need to try again. Made properly, a daiquiri is pure heaven in its simplicity. The simple balance of rum, sugar, and lime. This is a cocktail everyone should know how to make.
Forget what you think you know about a daiquiri – this is not your mass produced Ft. Lauderdale Spring Break frozen daiquiri. This is a cocktail perfect in its simplicity—just 3 ingredients, shaken until perfectly blended and ice cold, served straight up – no ice.
The History of the Daiquiri
The daiquiri is named after the mining town of Daiquiri on the southeastern tip of Cuba.
Apparently, around the time of the Spanish-American War, an American engineer, Jennings Cox, created the drink to protect his workers from yellow fever. It was thought that lime and alcohol would prevent deadly diseases.
How To Make The Perfect Daiquiri – Balance is the Key
To make the perfect Daiquiri you need a high-quality light rum, and equal parts freshly squeezed lime and simple syrup made with demerara sugar.
Once you have the basic recipe you can create any number of flavor variations.
So grab the rum and make a daiquiri. It’s like sipping summer.
