Daiquiri Cocktail

We enjoyed a 'Daiquiri Cocktail' tonight - found on page 71 of The Bartender's Guide. It has become one of our favorite cocktails. We've also discovered that bartenders seem to have no idea how to make one. I also found that using 1 oz each of light and amber Bacardi make it tastier. Good luck ordering it!

For one drink:

Juice of 1 Lime (around 1 1/2 to 2 oz)
1 teaspoon Powdered Sugar (I use 2 tsps)
1 1/2 oz Rum (I use 2 oz of mixed Bacardi's)

Muddle the sugar in the lime juice to dissolve it before adding the rum. Shake with ice and strain into cocktail glass. Garnish with citrus peel or fruit if desired.
