The Classic Daiquiri
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 oz light rum
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp simple syrup
- ice
Directions:
Fill your cocktail shaker half full of ice and add your other ingredients.
Shake everything until it’s well mixed and very cold. Strain the mix into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with a happy umbrella if you have one hanging around.
