It's been awhile since I have posted a cocktail but we are right in the middle of Summer and I thought it was a good time to post the best Summer cocktail ever! With only a few ingredients this one is easy to make but oh so delicious! Use a good quality white rum and definitely use fresh lime juice- it makes a difference, and make your own simple syrup. That will ensure a great cocktail the first time and every time.

Old Fashion Daiquiri- makes 1
8-10 ice cubes
2 oz of white rum
1 oz lime juice
1 oz simple syrup (recipe below)
lime slice for garnish
martini glass

To make a batch of simple syrup combine 1 cup of water with 1/2 cup of Swerve Sweetener in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat, allow to cool then add to a mason jar or a tuber ware and keep in the fridge.

Chill a martini glass by filling it with ice and cold water. Let it sit as you make the cocktail.

In a shaker add the ice cubes, rum, lime juice, and simple syrup. Shake for 20 seconds.
Spill out the cold water from your martini glass. Pour the mixture through the strainer into the martini glass and garnish with a slice of lime.

*Tips*
- If this is not strong enough add another 1 oz of rum.
- If this drink is too strong mix in some plain club soda until you get the desired strength.
ENJOY!
