Ingredients

• 60 ml White rum
• 25 ml fresh lime juice
• 15 ml Simple syrup (1:1 sugar and water)
• 1 slice lime wheel, to garnish (optional)
• Ice

Method

1. Chill a coupe or martini glass in the freezer while you mix.
2. Pour the rum, lime juice and syrup into a shaker. Taste a drop on a spoon and add a little more syrup if your limes are very sharp.
3. Fill with ice and shake hard for 15 seconds until frosty.
4. Double-strain into the cold glass and garnish with a lime wheel.

Tips

• Simple syrup is 1:1 sugar and water: stir equal amounts in a small pan over low heat until clear, cool, and keep it in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
• For a frozen fruit version without alcohol, see the virgin strawberry daiquiri.
• Served straight up it is short but strong, with 60 ml of rum: sip it slowly and have water alongside.
