Daiquiri

1. 01

   Before mixing, chill a coupe or cocktail glass in the freezer, or fill it with ice and water while you prepare the drink.

2. 02

   Measure 60 ml white rum, 20 ml freshly squeezed lime juice, and 2 level bar spoons of superfine sugar into an empty shaker before adding ice.

   • White Rum60 ml
   • Lime Juice20 ml
3. 03

   Stir the ingredients thoroughly until the sugar has dissolved and no visible grains remain on the bottom of the shaker.

4. 04

   Fill the shaker about two-thirds with medium or large ice cubes, then close it tightly.

5. 05

   Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker feels very cold and begins to frost.

6. 06

   Empty any chilling ice and water from the glass. Strain the cocktail into the cold glass without serving ice and serve immediately; the IBA version has no garnish.

Is this a frozen Daiquiri?

No. This is the shaken rum, lime and sugar build. It does not call for a blender or fruit purée; compare Don’s Special Daiquiri for a separately measured blended variation.
