Gelatin Free Classic Daiquiri
Few cocktails are as clean and satisfying as this one ā just rum, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup shaken until ice-cold and silky smooth. It's the kind of drink that looks effortlessly elegant in a chilled coupe glass, and the double-straining step ensures a perfectly clear, chip-free pour every time. Many pre-made cocktail mixes and flavored syrups sneak in unexpected additives, so mixing from scratch with these four straightforward ingredients keeps everything completely transparent. Fresh lime juice is non-negotiable here ā it brings a bright, natural tartness that bottled juice simply can't match. The vigorous shake does real work, chilling and slightly diluting the drink to that ideal, balanced consistency. Whether you're hosting or just unwinding after a long day, this is a genuinely crowd-pleasing pour that comes together in minutes with no fuss and no mystery ingredients.
