La Floridita Daiquiri Instructions
The La Floridita Daiquiri is a classic Cuban cocktail that originated at the famous La Floridita bar in Havana. This refreshing drink is made with rum, lime juice, and a touch of sugar, creating a perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors.
To make a La Floridita Daiquiri, start by squeezing the juice of two fresh limes into a cocktail shaker. Add a teaspoon of sugar and muddle until the sugar has dissolved. Next, add two ounces of white rum and fill the shaker with ice. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill the drink and dilute the flavors.
Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass, preferably a coupe. Garnish with a lime wheel or twist for an added touch of elegance. The La Floridita Daiquiri is traditionally served straight up, without ice, to showcase the smoothness of the drink.
This classic cocktail is perfect for warm summer days or any time you want to transport yourself to the tropical paradise of Havana. The La Floridita Daiquiri is simple to make, but its timeless combination of flavors will leave a lasting impression on your taste buds.
