Forget everything you think you know about daiquiris. The original daiquiri is not something you get out of a slushy machine, but a rum drink with the perfect marriage of bitter citrus and sweet cherry. Sometimes you can add an egg white for frothiness, but you can never go wrong serving it straight up. A classic daiquiri is a sipping drink and is made to take time to enjoy.
