Photo: Daiquiri Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups crushed ice, plus extra for chilling glass
- 2 ounces light rum
- 1-ounce freshly squeezed lime juice, strained of pulp
- 1/2-ounce Simple Syrup, recipe follows
Directions
If your glass is not chilled, do so by placing some crushed ice in it and set it aside while you prepare the cocktail.
Place the 2 cups of crushed ice into a cocktail shaker. Pour the rum, lime juice, and simple syrup over the ice, cover, and shake well. Remove the ice from your serving glass and strain the drink into it. Serve immediately.
2 cups sugar
1 cup water
Place the sugar and water into a small saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil. Decrease the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the saucepan and allow to cool completely. Syrup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a month.
Yield: 3 cups

How wonderful to learn of, and try, a real daiquiri. I love learning the history of the Hemingway Daiquiri. These are perfect fresh, delightful, summer cocktails. Thanks so much for sharing AB.

An absolutely amazing addition to summer. It took me the juice of about 2 small limes for each cocktail, though I think the measuring glass I used was larger than one ounce. The latest time I made it, I made the simple syrup with a one-to-one ratio of water to sugar (recipe calls for one-to-two, and it was fantastic! (I prefer my drinks to be less sweet than a lot of people!
