The syrup
In this recipe
Strawberry Syrup¾ oz22 ml
Strawberry syrup is sliced strawberries simmered briefly in a 1:1 sugar syrup, steeped off the heat, then strained without pressing.
Our strawberry syrup replaces both the simple syrup and the muddled berry ounce for ounce, so no fine-straining is needed.
As printed: 1:1 simple syrup muddled with a fresh strawberry
Where it comes from
The Daiquiri is Cuba's early-20th-century sour of rum, lime and sugar. Strawberry versions became best known as frozen blender drinks, and bartenders such as New York's Matthew Belanger have brought back a shaken, fresh-fruit take.
