The glass in which the daiquiri is served is also important and is usually the martini or martini glass.
Others have emerged from this cocktail variants changing the lime juice for juices of other fruits such as the strawberry daiquiri, the peach daiquiri or the pina colada daiquiri and we can even make non-alcoholic versions, which even without having the classic daiquiri flavor, are a great alternative for those who want to avoid alcohol consumption. Finally, also comment that we can add a part of maraschino to prepare what is known as a Hemingway daiquiri.

how to make daiquiri
Cool the shaker by adding 5 ice cubes, shake it and remove the excess water so that our cocktail is not watered down.
Next, we add 60 ml of white rum, 30 ml of lime juice and 10 ml of syrup. We can also use 1 teaspoon of cane sugar or white sugar, although our cocktail would not be as diluted, therefore, we have preferred to use what is also known as sugar syrup.
