Daiquiri

White rum, lime, sugar. Three ingredients, nowhere to hide: the purest shake in the bar.

Ingredients

  • 6 cl white rum
  • 3 cl lime
  • 2 cl cane sugar syrup
  • a shaker full ice cubes

Method

  1. Place your coupe in the freezer while you prepare the cocktail.
  2. Squeeze the lime at the last moment: its juice oxidizes in a few minutes.
  3. Pour the rum, juice, and syrup into a shaker filled with ice cubes.
  4. Shake violently for about twelve seconds: you are looking for chill AND texture.
  5. Double-strain (shaker strainer + fine mesh strainer) into the chilled coupe to catch the ice shards.
  6. Serve without a garnish, or with a thin lime wheel laid flat.
