Celebrate National Daiquiri Day coming up on Sunday, July 19! While a massive frozen drink might immediately come to mind, we’ve created this simple at-home recipe for a light & refreshing classic daiquiri on the rocks. You can also customize it with fresh ingredients like basil and ginger for a signature twist.
Brugal Extra Dry Daiquiri
Ingredients:
2 oz. Brugal Extra Dry Rum
1 oz. Fresh Lime Juice (approximately one lime)
¾ oz. Simple Syrup (equal parts sugar/water)
*Personalize by adding ingredients (strawberries, blueberries, jalapeño, ginger or basil) to shaker
Directions:
Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a rocks glass with a scoop of ice.
Garnish with a lime wheel. Watch how easy it is!
Don’t forget the perfect rum for your daiquiri: Brugal Extra Dry Rum is a cask-aged white rum that is filtered for clarity and smoothness and distilled in a way that removes the heavy alcohols that other rums leave. This creates the cleanest cut for a less sweet spirit and more balanced cocktails – the perfect complement to whatever seasonal ingredient you add to your shaker.

My feeling exactly about the holiday. I had not heard about the brand until someone emailed me. It sounds delightful. I think a dry rum would be ideal!
