Rum, lime, sugar. Shaken. Up. The textbook three-ingredient sour.
Combine in shaker over ice. Shake hard for 12 seconds. Double-strain into chilled coupe.
Garnish: lime wheel on the rim.
The original sour template. Cuba, 1898. Three ingredients, no margin for error. If you can't make a great daiquiri, you can't make great drinks.
Never serve a daiquiri with anything frozen, blended, or slushy unless specifically asked. The Lancey daiquiri is up, straight, classical.
Bright. Clean. Lime-forward. A test of technique more than recipe.
Pour cost target: 16%. Selling price: $15. Margin: $12.60.
