Start by discussing the ingredients for the classic daiquiri: white rum, fresh lime juice, and sugar.

Use 2 oz of white rum (Bacardi) for the cocktail.

Add 1/2 oz of cane sugar syrup, which is a 2:1 ratio of sugar to water.

Double strain 1 oz of fresh lime juice into the shaker.

Fill the shaker with very cold and dry ice to avoid dilution.

Shake the mixture for about 25 to 30 seconds until the shaker is frosty.

Strain the cocktail into a chilled glass, allowing some ice chips to remain in the drink.

Garnish with a lime wheel.
