Lime

FAQ
Simple syrup?
Equal parts sugar and hot water, cooled. A teaspoon of superfine sugar in the shaker works if you shake long enough.
Frozen?
That is a different drink with fruit and a blender. This one is served up.
Dark rum?
It makes a heavier daiquiri. White rum is the clean one.
Mint?
Mint makes it closer to a mojito. Leave it out.
