  • Display recipe in:
How to make:

SHAKE all ingredients with ice and fine strain into chilled glass.

Garnish:

Lime wedge

Comment:

Made to the easy-to-remember 3:2:1 Daiquiri (or countdown) formula this balanced but limey daiquiri lacks the poise of my preferred 10:3:2 formula.

Origin:

I'm indebted to Roger Vilalta who in 2010 at Banker's Bar in Barcelona, Spain made me (Simon Difford) an excellent daiquiri using this formula.
