💡 What's interesting

The Daiquiri is a classic example of a 'sour' cocktail template (spirit, citrus, sweetener) and is often considered a bartender's benchmark for proper balance and technique. Its simplicity makes it highly sensitive to the quality of its ingredients, especially the freshness of the lime juice.
