For a sweeter Daiquiri, increase the amount of simple syrup to 1.5 teaspoons. Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor. Bottled lime juice can taste artificial and detract from the cocktail's overall quality. Experiment with different types of rum to find your favorite flavor profile. Aged rums will add more complexity. If you don't have a cocktail shaker, you can use a tightly sealed mason jar.
