The Perfect Daiquiri: Simple Ingredients, Incredible Taste
May 08, 2025
Want to know the real secret to a perfect Daiquiri? It's simpler than you might think!
For me, it's the simple things done right that truly sing, and this classic blend of rum, sugar, and lime just hits that sweet (and sour!) spot every single time.
Let me share my go-to recipe for this timeless cocktail:
- 25ml zingy fresh lime juice
- 25ml perfectly balanced sugar syrup
- 50ml of our very own Landlocked English White Rum
Combine all these ingredients in a shaker filled with ice. Give it a good, vigorous shake until well-chilled. This not only cools the drink down perfectly but also adds just the right amount of dilution.
Then, strain the mixture into a frosty Coupe glass for that touch of elegance.
And the finishing flourish? A little expression of lime oils over the top for that aromatic zing. Oh, and if you fancy a little nose tickle with every sip, a lime twist on the side is always a good shout!
This is the classic Daiquiri, pure and simple. What's your favourite way to enjoy this bright and refreshing cocktail? Let us know!
