Following Up On The Lesson: Daiquiri Part 3

After playing around with a few different concoctions, I went with Thad and Eric's suggestion of the El Dorado 3 year, but with Erik A's stir-in-cold, simple syrup recipe and ratio.  I think it's the best drink I've ever made at home.  I can't believe how balanced it is - the cane flavor of the rum with the sweet and sour.  Amazing.  My wife was blown away.  This is a Daiquiri?  I'll be making these all weekend, rest assured.

I've learned about how citrus and sugar work together, about different types of rum, and how to make a Daiquiri that works for my household.  I'm pumped.  Sticking to one drink really works.
