Cocktail
Juice and measure
Cut a fresh lime and measure out 1 oz (about one lime) of freshly squeezed lime juice. Measure 2 oz Bacardi light rum and 0.75 oz simple syrup.
Combine and chill
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice (about 6 oz by volume of ice). Add the measured rum, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup to the shaker.
Shake
Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty and the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted.
Strain
Double-strain the cocktail through a Hawthorne or fine mesh strainer into a chilled coupe or martini glass (no ice). This produces a smooth, clear daiquiri.
Garnish
Garnish the drink with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Serve immediately.
