How to Make a Daiquiri

The Daiquiri is a simple and elegant cocktail that harmonizes white rum, lime juice, and sugar. It delivers a refreshing and clean flavor through the balance of the tartness of lime, the smooth body of white rum, and the gentle sweetness of sugar.

With an alcohol content around 18–20%, it offers a medium strength that makes it easy to enjoy. Originating in early 20th-century Cuba, it quickly became a favorite among many, including famed writer Ernest Hemingway.

Thanks to its simple yet perfect composition, the Daiquiri showcases the pure taste of rum and the crispness of lime like no other cocktail.
