🥘 Ingredients

Light Rum: Light rum has the perfect kick and mellow finish for this flirty fruit cocktail. You can use your favorite brand, but Bacardi is a great standby.
Fresh Lime Juice: You will want to pick out fresh limes for juicing. Look for bright green skin and a nice firm texture.
Raspberry Syrup: Raspberry syrup is very popular in cocktail and mocktail making, so it is easy to find this tasty flavor syrup in stores everywhere. However, if you’re all about homemade, you can absolutely use scratch-made raspberry syrup to sweeten up this delicious daiquiri!
Cubed Ice: For cooling the drink while shaking.

🔪 Instructions

Step Two: Fill the shaker with ice and then add the rum, lime juice, and raspberry syrup.

Step Three: Shake!

Step Four: Strain the drink directly into your favorite daiquiri glass and enjoy!

🍽 Equipment

Cocktail Shaker
Small Fine Strainer: This is essential for pouring the perfect beverage. Choose a small fine-mesh strainer to hold back any ice fragments after shaking.
Jigger
Cutting Board and Kitchen Knife: For cutting limes. Remember to wash your knife promptly after cutting citrus to avoid dulling the blade.
Lemon Squeezer
Cocktail Glass: This special touch is up to you! I like a classic Nick and Nora or Coupe-style glass, but you can also opt for a rocks glass or whatever you like!

💭 Top tips

The daiquiri is served strained, straight up, meaning without ice. I love using this method because shaking cools the cocktail perfectly while straining holds back all the ice. You are left with a sensually smooth and sippable texture.

This drink is so delicious to behold that I didn’t want to mess it up with a clunky garnish, but if you want to add a little flair to your glass, go for it! Fresh raspberries on a cocktail skewer make a lovely topper for this tasty sip!

🙋🏻 FAQ

Can I Use Dark or Spiced Rum Instead?

If you want to add a deeper flavor to the cocktail, you can try swapping the light rum for dark rum. This trade makes for a more complex and noticeable rum note.

Spiced rum can also be used, but beware that the spicy flavor might overwhelm some of the light, fresh, and floral notes of raspberry in the original recipe.
