At its core, the Daiquiri is a simple mix of rum , lime, and sugar, but its also a litmus test for how well a bartender knows how to balance cocktails. While using Bacardi white rum yields a great, balanced version of this cocktail, dont shy away from experimenting with other brands expressions to tweak the drinks profile.
