Shake it hard for 15 to 20 seconds with the lid on tight. This will mix everything well and make it foamy. - Put it in a glass
- Add the garnish and serve
If you want, you can add a lime wheel and some toasted coconut on top.
Tips and Variations
- Chill your glass: Put your coupe glass in the freezer as you get ready for a chilly, refreshing drink.
- Fresh lime juice is really important: bottled lime juice won’t give you that bright, tangy taste.
- Mix it up for fun: Want a daiquiri that is frozen? For a tropical slushie feel, combine everything together with more ice.
- Taste as you go to change the sweetness: If you want it sweeter, add more simple syrup; if you want it tangier, dial it back.
- Double it up: Are you having a lot of people over? It’s easy to make this recipe bigger for a pitcher.
- No coconut milk? For a lighter version, use coconut milk, but add a little extra simple syrup to make it sweeter.
- Do you like vodka? For a Coconut Lime Martini twist, use vodka instead of rum.
- No simple syrup? Mix the sugar and boiling water together until the sugar is gone, or use agave syrup instead.
- Pre-make option: You can mix the rum, coconut cream, lime juice, and simple syrup together (without ice) and keep it in the fridge for up to a day. For optimal results, shake with ice just before serving.
- Storage: It’s ideal to drink daiquiris right away, but if you have some left over, you may keep them in the fridge for up to a day. Before serving, shake or stir well.
