The Classic Daiquiri
Simple. Elegant. Perfectly balanced.
The Daiquiri is one of the great classic cocktails — just three ingredients, shaken cold, and served in a chilled coupe. The secret to a great one? Quality syrup. Our Quantum Cocktails Simple Syrup brings a clean, consistent sweetness that lets the rum and fresh lime shine.
Serves: 1 | Prep Time: 3 minutes
What You'll Need
- 2 oz light rum
- 1 oz fresh lime juice (freshly squeezed makes all the difference)
- 1 oz Quantum Cocktails Simple Syrup
How to Make It
- Add the rum, lime juice, and Quantum Cocktails Simple Syrup to a shaker filled with ice.
- Shake hard until well-chilled (about 10–15 seconds).
- Strain into a chilled coupe glass and serve immediately.
QC Tips
- Chill your coupe in the freezer for a few minutes before pouring — it keeps the drink cold longer.
- No coupe? A martini glass works just as well.
- Want a touch more complexity? Try this recipe with our Quantum Cocktails Falernum in place of the Simple Syrup for a spiced, tropical twist.
