Detox and Daquiris

I realize posting the recipe for lime daquiris on the day Mark and I start our post-holiday detox regimen is ironic, but these suckers are way too good not to share.  If your idea of a daquiri resembles an alcoholic slurpee, I recommend you redeem the good name of daquiri, favorite drink of Ernest Hemingway, with these superior homemade libations.

Classic Daquiri
1 1/2 oz. rum (we like Plantation brand)
3/4 oz. fresh lime juice 
1 oz simple syrup
Twist of lime peel  for garnish

Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into martini glasses.  Add your twist of lime to make it pretty.

Since we stocked up the home bar over the holidays, complete with cocktail recipe book, expect more drink recipes posted here.
