Bright, bracingly tart, and effortlessly elegant, this three-ingredient cocktail is one of the most satisfying drinks you can make at home. White rum, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup come together in a shaker to produce something that tastes far more refined than the effort involved. For anyone navigating grain sensitivities, cocktail menus can be a minefield — beer, whiskey, and plenty of mixed drinks are off the table — but a classic daiquiri built from rum, citrus, and sugar is naturally in the clear. The double-straining step is worth the extra few seconds; it gives the finished drink a silky, chip-free texture that makes it feel genuinely bar-quality. Serve it in a properly chilled coupe and it looks as good as it tastes. A lime wheel or twist on the rim is a small touch that goes a long way.
