Equal parts sugar and water - you can use any kind of sugar and if you like your drink richer or sweater, use sugar in the raw or twice the amount of sugar to water, as desired. Mix sugar in warm water (no need to boil, just warm enough to help dissolve the sugar) and stir until water is clear again, then pour into tupperware/jar and refrigerate. Should last for one to three weeks, so I try to make pretty small amounts at a time. You can also make it with honey or agave and infuse with anything

My first time making a daiquiri, and it is really surprising what happens when you combine the ingredients--it does not simply taste like lime and rum with sugar. It takes on a wonderful flavor all its own. This is definitely a sweeter cocktail, but easily customizable. I went down to half an ounce of simple syrup on my second try and it was better for my tastes.

Easy frozen daiquiris: one can frozen lime juice, one can rum. Blend with ice cubes until slushy. Delicious!

Who knew! Reduced the simple sugar & added more ice. Nothing beats a simple cocktails at home
Morningstar
Make it a double!

The simple syrup and lime juice proportions are wrong. They should be reversed - i.e. 1 oz. lime juice, 3/4 oz. simple syrup. I even go as low as 1/2 oz. simple syrup because I often want a more refreshing, less sweet cocktail.

This is a lot sweeter than the daiquiris I have made for years using 2 oz. Rum; 1 oz. lime juice; and 1/2 oz. simple syrup.
Sarah
Served this with a spicy Detroit-style pizza and it was a perfect pairing.
Billie
I had never made proper daiquiris before. I used a 2:.75:.75 ratio suggested by another user - perfect! These drinks made us very happy.
Chris Raftery
Made mostly as directed, but substituted 1/2 once of Blue Curaçao for some of the sugar water. It turned out a little less sweet and had a beautiful pale blue hue. Delicious, and perfect for a warm summer evening on our deck above Eagle Harbor!
Jessica
We used coconut water ice cubes, and did these in the blender frozen style. Upped the lime juice to 1 oz. Drank them out of metal straws, which are cool on your lips. They were remarkable on a hot summer night.
Phoebe
Used only 1/3 the syrup - nice!

On hand was 12 yr old Demerara rum and agave (used 1/2 the amount directed for simple syrup. Darker than the photo, but Delicious!

I'd never made a daiquiri before, and the drink was very good. I was worried that it would be too sweet, but it wasn't. Very flavorful on a warm spring evening.
Elizabeth
Solid and simple recipe. Delicious as is. Definitely coming into the steady cocktail rotation. I also substituted the simple syrup for a simple strawberry syrup (simmered 1 cup strawberries to two cups water for 15 minutes, strained, added equal parts sugar) and it was surprisingly good.
Eric
Is dark rum acceptable or is that blasphemous?
Ross
It might be blasphemous, but it's definitely delicious. I love a combo of an aged rum and a funky jamaican rum, like Smith and Cross. I normally do a half ounce of Smith and Cross and 1.5 ounces of the aged rum, I like Appleton Estate 12, but any aged rum will be great.
Raven
Preferred a 2:.75:.75 with Peychouds and a dash of nutmeg
