Ingredient Notes

• Peaches - you want to use fresh peaches if possible. Peel and slice them.
• Light rum - known for its underlying profile of sweet, toasted sugar, I like to use light rum for this cocktail.
• Limes - adds acidity and brightness to the cocktail.
• Maple syrup - gives an underlying sweetness.

Ingredient Swaps

As with any cocktail, you can mix up some of the ingredients. Some variations include:

• Fresh peaches are best, but you can use canned peaches in a pinch.
• While you can use light rum, you can use your favorite type of rum.
• Lime juice is more traditional for a daiquiri, but lemon juice works too.
• I'm a fan of maple syrup for sweetness in cocktails, but you can make your own simple syrup.

Equipment

The equipment you use is important to how the recipe turns out. What is needed is the following:

• Blender/Food processor - used to blend all of the ingredients until smooth.
• Coupe glasses - daiquiris are traditionally served in coupe glasses but you can use whatever you want.

Pro Tips/Recipe Notes

• Place the glasses in the freezer for an hour so it keeps your daiquiri chilled.
• Make sure you use ripe peaches as they have give the drink that subtle sweetness.
• Take the time to freshly squeeze lime juice. Store-bought just isn't the same.
• Sweeten to the cocktail to taste. If you like a little sweeter drink, add some more maple syrup.
