Day 19: Daiquiri

  • 2 oz rum
  • juice of one lime
  • 1/4 oz simple syrup

I’m back home after the burn and I’m exhausted, a little sick, and sunburnt, so the last thing I wanted to do was make a complicated cocktail. I have about a dozen limes at the house so I immediately thought of a daiquiri. The white rum I used is kind of astringent. I might try a nice dark rum next time for a bit of a sweeter finish.

  1. The simple daiquiri is easily my favorite often overlooked cocktail. I’m sorry your light rum is astringent. The clarity and cleanness of the other ingredients really can’t cover up a mediocre rum. The few I’ve had with cheap rum all came out… medicinal. Blech.

    1. It’s a mid-range rum that usually works pretty well in mixed drinks, but I didn’t care for it in this. My favorite daiquiris tend to have dark rum, I think.
