Daquiri

Ingredients

For one serving

• 2 oz light rum*
• 1 oz lime juice
• 3/4 oz demerara sugar syrup**

Instructions

Add ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice, shake for a minute and then strain through a fine mesh into coupe glasses. Garnish with a “lime twist” (bit of peel…)

* Plantation 3 Star white rum worked great for $20 and is even quite pleasantly sippable neat. Upgrade to try would be Rhum J.M. Agricole Blanc that Hazel’s has for ~$40. Rhum is made from fresh pressed sugar cane juice whereas rum is made from molasses, the byproduct of sugar production. Rhum might me more interesting/funky than rum. TBD.

** Combine 150g (which is 150ml) of water with 150g demerara sugar in a saucepan and simmer gently until the sugar is completely dissolved.
