Tips
-
sugar/simple syrup
To make a simple syrup, mix equal parts of sugar and hot water until sugar has dissolved. Wait until the syrup cools and then store it in a bottle. -
superfine sugar
To make superfine sugar, you just need to whiz granulated sugar in a blender until it turns to dust. Superfine sugar is used instead of a regular one because it melts faster. -
garnish
Daiquiri does not traditionally have a garnish, but a lime wedge or a lime wheel is often added, either attached to the rim or plunked into the drink. -
drinkware
Daiquiri is typically served in a chilled cocktail glass, but a coupe glass is also often used. A frozen daiquiri, on the other hand, is more commonly served in a rocks glass. -
flavored daiquiri
A daiquiri can be flavored with various fruits like strawberries, pineapple, and raspberries. To make a flavored daiquiri, you add the preferred choice of fruit to a shaker with other ingredients, then muddle the fruit to release the juice. Once you've shaken the cocktail, you need to double strain the cocktail into the glass, so the pieces of fruit do not end up in the drink. -
frozen daiquiri
A popular take on the classic daiquiri is the frozen daiquiri, which is made with added pulverized ice and some sort of fruit, typically blended in large batches until smooth.

Daiquiri with Sugar Syrup
Ready in 5minThis recipe is adapted from the International Bartenders Association’s website and it's their variation on the traditional daiquiri recipe. In this variation, sugar syrup is used instead of superfine sugar because it mixes better than sugar, but the downside is that it can water down the drink. If you don't have sugar/simple syrup, check out the cooking tips for instructions on how to make one.
