Equipment

• Cocktail shaker
• Hawthorne strainer
• Fine-mesh strainer
• Jigger or measuring tool
• Citrus juicer
• Martini glass or coupe glass
• Ice

Ingredients

• 2 oz coconut rum
• 1 oz fresh lime juice
• 3/4 oz simple syrup
• Lime wheel for garnish
• Ice for shaking

Instructions

• Fill the cocktail shaker with ice.
• Add coconut rum, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup to the shaker.

• Double strain the mixture through both strainers into a chilled martini glass or coupe.

Notes

Fresh lime juice makes a big difference in taste compared to bottled juice. One medium lime yields about 1 oz of juice.

Store coconut rum at room temperature. It stays fresh for up to 6 months after opening.

Make simple syrup by combining equal parts sugar and water in a pot. Heat until sugar dissolves, then cool before using.

Pre-chill glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before making drinks.

Tasting Notes

This tropical cocktail combines sweet and tart flavors in perfect balance.

Fresh lime juice adds brightness while the coconut rum brings smooth, creamy notes.

The first sip reveals fresh citrus zing followed by mellow coconut.

These flavors blend together for a taste that’s both refreshing and indulgent.

Primary Flavors:

• Sweet coconut
• Tart lime
• Light rum base
• Subtle vanilla hints

Texture: Smooth and silky with a gentle froth on top when shaken well.

Aftertaste: Clean and crisp with lingering coconut sweetness.

The drink starts sweet then moves to tangy citrus notes.

Its smooth texture makes it easy to sip and enjoy.

Best served: Ice cold in a chilled coupe glass with a lime wheel garnish.

This cocktail works well for both casual gatherings and fancy events.

The flavors remind many people of beach vacations and sunny days.

Substitute

You can swap ingredients in this coconut lime daiquiri to match what’s in your kitchen. Regular white rum works as a replacement for coconut rum.

Canned coconut milk makes a good substitute for coconut cream. Just use 2 ounces instead of 1.5 ounces to maintain the richness.

Fresh limes are best, but bottled lime juice can work in a pinch. Use the same amount as fresh juice.

Simple syrup alternatives:

• Agave nectar
• Plain sugar
• Honey (use 3/4 the amount)

For a non-alcoholic version, replace the rum with coconut water or cream soda. Add a splash of coconut extract for extra flavor.

You can make it sweeter or more tart by adjusting the lime juice and sweetener amounts. Start with less and add more to taste.
