Notes
Use organic cane sugar to make the simple syrup.
Choose good ingredients and fresh limes for best results.
The rum can be a light rum or a golden rum. Do not use a dark rum for daiquiris. Also, nothing too sweet.
Make sure you shake with ice really well. It is very important when making this cocktail.
