Ina Garten's Classic Daiquiris

Sometimes summer nights call for a refreshing cocktail.

A simple syrup, some lime juice, and some rum and you are all set to go.

Fill your cocktail shaker three fourths of the way with ice and shake, shake, shake.

You have a refreshing and delicious cocktail that will really cool you down and help you relax!
