The Dai Qui Ri


Daiquiri's are a chill drink for a hot day. Made from daiquiri mix (Strawberry or Lime) blended ice, Rum, a sugar rim, and a splash of sour (lime or your own substitute), this drink will make you feel like you're sitting on a tropical beach. When you make your daiquiri's, try to blend it for as long as possible, this will ensure it's nice and thick and smooth to drink. 

Having your ratios right is really important for this drink; you reall wont want your daiquiri's to be too watery, so measure your drink in your glass before throwing it into the blender. And feel free to throw some fruit in the blender, perhaps some pineapple or banana, to add a more organic and tropical taste to it. If you feel a little more adventurous, add some Galliano (banana flavour) or Malibu Rum (coconut).

Now to get the sugar rim is a very simple process. Throw some sugar into a saucer, then moisten the rim of your empty daiquiri glass (ideally a poco-grande) with a lime wedge or a slice of strawberry or even just water. Then dip the moistened rim into the sugar untill you get your desired rim. Eh Voila!
