Vodka Daiquiri
A twist on the classic Daiquiri, the Vodka Daiquiri replaces rum with vodka for a crisper, more neutral-tasting cocktail that allows the fresh lime and sweetness to shine through.
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Strainer (Hawthorne or fine mesh)
- chilled cocktail glass
Ingredients
- 2 oz Vodka 60 ml
- 1 oz Fresh lime juice 30 ml
- 1/2 oz Simple syrup 15 ml
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
- Pour the vodka, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup into the shaker.
- Shake vigorously until well chilled, about 15 seconds.
- Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
- Garnish with a lime wheel or zest, if desired.
Notes
To ensure the best flavor, use freshly squeezed lime juice. The quality of the vodka will also greatly affect the taste of the cocktail, so choose a good-quality, smooth vodka. Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less simple syrup to suit your taste.
