BHA & BHT Free Classic Daiquiri

Few cocktails are as clean and satisfying as a well-made daiquiri — tart, lightly sweet, and ice-cold in a frosty coupe. The beauty here is that every ingredient is completely transparent: white rum, fresh-squeezed lime juice, and a simple syrup you can easily make at home with just sugar and water. For anyone navigating preservative sensitivities, bottled mixers and pre-made cocktail syrups are a minefield of additives, but this recipe sidesteps all of that entirely. Squeezing your own lime is a small step that makes a genuinely big difference, both in flavor and in keeping things clean. Shaking hard for a full 12–15 seconds gets the drink properly diluted and chilled, and double-straining gives you that silky, chip-free pour that looks as good as it tastes. Garnish with a lime wheel on the rim and you've got something that feels genuinely elegant without a single unnecessary ingredient in the glass.
