Zac's Daiquiri

Use 2:1 rich simple syrup for its listed portion.

Select and pre-chill a martini glass.

Prepare a garnish by cutting a twist of lemon zest.

Shake the Cuban rum, freshly squeezed lemon juice, cloudy apple juice or cider, and rich sugar syrup with ice until well-chilled.

Strain the mixture into the pre-chilled martini glass.

Express the lemon zest twist over the cocktail to release its oils, then use it as a garnish.
