Add the white rum, lemon juice, and simple syrup to an empty cocktail shaker.
Add ice and shake until well chilled.
Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with a lemon slice, if desired.
For a batch of 8 Lemon Daiquiris:
- 2 cups white rum
- 1 cup lemon juice
- ¾ cup simple syrup
- Lemon slices for garnish, optional
Instructions/tips for making a batch:
- Mix the ingredients in a large pitcher: Combine the white rum, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup in a large pitcher and stir well to combine. You can adjust the ratios of the ingredients to taste, depending on how sweet or tart you want the drink to be.
- Chill the mixture: Once the ingredients are mixed, chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least an hour. This will allow the flavors to meld together and create a more cohesive taste.
- For best taste, make your Lemon Daiquiri pitcher no more than 1 day in advance and keep in the fridge in an airtight container.
- Keep in mind that the ice will dilute the drink over time, so opt to chill the fridge in advance and/or serve on the rocks. If you’re outside, you can nestle the pitcher in a large bucket of ice to keep the cocktail cool without dilution.
