By I made ceviche — the summer tradition, the annual return of shrimp and lime and mango. The ceviche at both bakeries now — the recipe crossing the bridge the way all our recipes cross, completely, faithfully, tasting like home on both sides.
When the ceviche is chilling and the lime rinds are piled on the counter, there’s always a moment where I think: something to sip while we wait. That’s where this daiquiri comes in — same lime, same summer air, same sense that the season has officially arrived. It’s become part of the same ritual, poured out the same way every year, tasting just as much like home as everything else we make together.
Daiquiri
Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 0 minutes | Total Time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 2 oz white rum
- 1 oz fresh lime juice (about 1 large lime)
- 3/4 oz simple syrup
- Ice, for shaking
- Lime wheel or wedge, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Juice the lime. Squeeze enough fresh lime juice to yield 1 oz. Fresh juice makes a significant difference — avoid bottled.
- Combine ingredients. Add the rum, lime juice, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker.
- Add ice and shake. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is very cold.
- Strain and serve. Strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass. Garnish with a lime wheel if desired, and serve immediately.
