Classic Daiquiri
The classic daiquiri was the preferred drink of Hemingway and JFK. It's nothing like the syrupy frozen version.

Notes
You can also make a pitcher of daiquiris for a party. It's a little less classic but a whole lot easier if you’ve got a lot of people to serve and lack a full-time bartender. For 8 drinks, up to two hours before the party, pour 2 cups rum, 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice, ½ cup simple syrup, and ½ cup water into a pitcher and stir well. Chill until serving time. Five to 10 minutes before serving, stir in 2 cups ice. Pour into glasses, garnish each with a lime wheel, and serve.
