Ol' Reliable Daiquiri (straight-up)
Lime Wheel
Add 3/4 oz squeezed lime to a shaker. Go thin on this if you're making it for sweet types. Add 3/4 of simple 1-1 to preferably the same shaker. Add a thick 2 oz of whatever rum you have as long as it's not flavored or spiced. Make it Cuban aged rum if you're making it for someone pretty. Add ice cubes. If you've got a big cube, toss that in there with all the rest of 'em. Shake it till it's cold. Strain into a Nick & Nora if you want to impress someone. Strain into a double rocks if it's for yourself. If you're on a boat, strain into whatever and add cubes.
