Spring is on the way, and I am ready. This old-school daiquiri reminds me of the Sun and warmth I’ve been longing for.

RELATED: A blue lemon

EXPERIENCE: Squeeze two lime slices with Bacardi rum, add some simple syrup, “shake it to hell,” and you’ll have one of the most refreshing daiquiris ever. The sweetness is balanced out with the tartness of the lime. It’s all the good parts of a daiquiri without it being frozen.

ADVICE: Make sure you have a lot of ice. Think of it like a daiquiri on the rocks. The coldness of the drink mixed with the strong flavors will keep you longing for more.
