Daiquiri
The eponymous cocktail of Daiquiri, Cuba, is another twentieth-century classic. The daiquiri achieved fame in a bar called La Florida in Havana, said to have been frequented by Hemingway (like all bars in Cuba).
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 oz (45 mL) rum
- 1 tsp (5 mL) simple syrup
- 1 oz (30 mL) fresh-squeezed lime juice
Preparation
Put everything in a shaker with ice. Strain into a cocktail glass.
There are many variations of the classic recipe, including the arguably better known frozen daiquiri, made, like the margarita, with crushed ice. Experiment with added ingredients. The addition of crushed ice, fresh strawberries, and strawberry schnapps makes a strawberry daiquiri.
Makes 1 serving.
