High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Classic Daiquiri

Few cocktails are as clean and satisfying as a properly made daiquiri — tart, slightly sweet, and bracingly cold. The secret to keeping this one free of high fructose corn syrup is the simple syrup, which you make yourself from just sugar and water, so you know exactly what's going in the glass. Store-bought cocktail mixes and flavored syrups are notorious for sneaking in unwanted sweeteners, but this recipe sidesteps all of that with nothing but white rum, fresh-squeezed lime juice, and your homemade syrup. Shaking it hard over ice and double-straining into a chilled coupe gives you that silky, frothy texture that makes a daiquiri feel genuinely special. The lime wheel on the rim is a small touch that makes it look like something you'd pay good money for at a craft cocktail bar. It's the kind of drink that proves simple ingredients, handled well, beat a bottle of premixed anything every single time.
