Ingredients

White rum: White rum, also known as light rum, is a clear and colorless spirit that has a light and delicate flavor profile. It's made from sugarcane juice or molasses and is typically aged for a shorter period of time than darker rums. The taste of white rum is relatively mild compared to other spirits, with subtle notes of vanilla, citrus, and tropical fruit.

Key Lime Juice: Key limes have a distinct flavor that is different from regular limes, with a more floral and slightly sweeter taste. When added to a key lime daiquiri, the key lime juice adds a tangy and refreshing flavor that balances out the sweetness of the agave and rum.

Agave nectar: Sweetens the daiquiri. You can use light or dark agave. Just be sure to adjust your measurements accordingly per the recipe.
