Rum
Daiquiri
A well‑balanced daiquiri delivers bright lime acidity, a clean white‑rum backbone, and just enough simple syrup to soften the edge. Using 2 oz of white rum, 1 oz fresh lime juice, and ¾ oz simple syrup, the drink is quick to assemble and tolerates slight variations in sweetness. Shake the mixture with ice, then strain into a chilled coupe for a crisp, refreshing sip. Garnish with a lime wheel for a visual cue. Enjoy responsibly tonight with friends.

History
The daiquiri originated in early 20th‑century Cuba, named after the mining town of Daiquiri where American engineers first mixed rum with lime and sugar. It entered American bars during Prohibition and gained popularity after World War II.
Tasting Notes
Sharp lime acidity cuts through the clean, slightly sweet rum, leaving a crisp, dry finish. The mouthfeel is light and refreshing, with just enough sweetness to balance the sour.
Serve it chilled as an aperitif on a warm evening or before dinner.
