Ina Garten's Classic Daiquiris - Updated

Who doesn't love a good cocktail? Ina has so many amazing cocktail recipes and I have to say there are very few that I don't like!Ā  😬 I was reluctant to try this one because I just didn’t see how dark rum and lime juiceĀ were going to taste good togetherĀ but of course,Ā I was pleasantly surprised!Ā HavingĀ a citrusĀ juicer to juice 9 limes made it really easy.Ā

Juicing limes with the All Citrus Juicer

I served this for a group of friends and we all loved it. Ā It was refreshing on a hot summer night.Ā Serve in double old fashion or cocktail glass. Ā Enjoy!

Adding a lime to each cocktail glass

. . . . . . . .

Ingredients

1 cup sugar, plus extra for dipping the glasses
1 lime, cut in half
1 1/3 cups freshly squeezed lime juice (9 limes)
1 1/3 cups Bacardi Gold dark rum
Very thin whole slices of lime, for serving

Ā 

Directions

Combine the sugar with 1 cup water in a small saucepan and heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Set aside to cool or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

When ready to make the cocktails, rub the cut lime on the rims of 6 glasses and lightly dip the rims in a plate of sugar. Turn the glasses upright and set aside to dry.

Double old fashioned glasses with sugar on the rim

Combine the lime juice, 1 cup of the sugar syrup, and the rum in a pitcher. Fill a cocktail shaker ¾ full with ice, pour in enough cocktail mixture to cover the ice, place the lid on the shaker, and shake for a full 30 seconds, until very cold. (Time it; it’s longer than you think!)

Glass pitcher filled with fresh lime juice

Fill the prepared glasses ¾ full with ice and strain the daiquiris into the glasses, garnish with the lime slices, and serve ice cold. Repeat until you’ve used all of the cocktail mixture.
