Steps:
- Shake all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker and strain into a cocktail glass. 3 TWISTSStrawberry daiquiriThis cocktail should only be attempted with fruit that's really ripe and sweet - if the berries are the big, bland variety from the chiller cabinet, the end result will just taste of mush. Allow one large handful of hulled strawberries for each cocktail. Place them in the empty shaker and give them a gentle crush with a muddler or pestle, then add the other ingredients and shake as normal and strain into your cocktail glass. Out of season, you could also make a version of this drink using Funkin strawberry purée which will be almost as good. Hemingway's 'Papa Doble' daiquiriThe writer Ernest Hemingway drank at El Floridita in Havana so often they ended up creating a daiquiri recipe especially for him called the Papa Doble, made with a quadruple measure of white rum, lime, grapefruit juice and maraschino liqueur. I don't think many of us could handle a drink this size - as delicious as it is - so I've scaled it back a bit: 50ml white rum, 15ml pink grapefruit juice, 15ml lime juice, 15ml Luxardo maraschino liqueur, 5ml sugar syrup, shaken and strained into a cocktail glass or blended with ice, depending on what you prefer. La Terraza's blue daiquiriAnother place Hemingway liked to drink when he went fishing was a little waterside bar about 10 miles outside Havana called La Terraza. La Terraza's signature daiquiri is made with blue curaçao, so it's the colour of a lagoon. You can make one too, simply by substituting 15ml Bols Blue curaçao in a normal daiquiri in place of the sugar syrup. A delicious guilty pleasure on a summer's day, especially with a cocktail umbrella.

Tips:
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your daiquiri will be. This is especially true for the lime juice. If you can, use freshly squeezed lime juice rather than bottled or frozen juice.
- Choose the Right Rum: Not all rums are created equal. For a daiquiri, you'll want to use a light rum or a white rum. These rums have a clean, crisp flavor that won't overpower the other ingredients in the drink.
- Use Simple Syrup: Simple syrup is a mixture of equal parts sugar and water. It's used to sweeten the daiquiri without adding any unwanted flavors.
- Shake Vigorously: Shaking the daiquiri is what incorporates all of the ingredients and creates that signature frothy texture. Be sure to shake the drink for at least 10 seconds, or until it's well chilled.
- Serve Immediately: Daiquiris are best served immediately after they're made. The ice will start to melt and dilute the drink, so don't let it sit around for too long.
Conclusion:
The daiquiri is a classic cocktail that's perfect for any occasion. It's refreshing, flavorful, and easy to make. With a few simple tips, you can make a daiquiri that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a delicious and refreshing cocktail, give the daiquiri a try. You won't be disappointed.
