Method
How to make Daiquiri
Follow the 6 reviewed catalog steps in order.
- 01
Before mixing, chill a coupe or cocktail glass in the freezer, or fill it with ice and water while you prepare the drink.
- 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.
- 03
Stir the ingredients thoroughly until the sugar has dissolved and no visible grains remain on the bottom of the shaker.
- 04
Fill the shaker about two-thirds with medium or large ice cubes, then close it tightly.
- 05
Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker feels very cold and begins to frost.
- 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.
