A classic daiquiri combines sweet and tart flavors in a refreshing, balanced profile. Lime juice provides a bright citrusy acidity, complemented by the sweetness of simple syrup and the distinct taste of rum. The quality and type of rum used, along with the lime-to-sweetener ratio, influence the overall taste. A well-crafted daiquiri is smooth, well-balanced, and finishes clean and crisp. Variations may incorporate fruit purees or herbs, offering different flavor profiles.
