Pro Tips

⚖️ The Balance Test

The Daiquiri tests a bartender's skill. It should be perfectly balanced – not too sour, not too sweet. Adjust ratios based on your lime's tartness.

🚫 Not That Daiquiri

Forget the frozen strawberry slushy. The real Daiquiri is a sophisticated, shaken cocktail that showcases quality rum. It was JFK's favorite drink.
