We like that Ted Allen’s daiquiri is not overly sweet, but if you are a fan of a sweet daiquiri, you can add a drizzle of simple syrup.

Reviews
I didn’t add simple syrup because i don’t like things very sweet but I can see how some people might want this sweeter. I just made this for my husband and I and we loved the interesting flavor but when I make it for a party, I’ll have a bottle of simple syrup on the side so people can add their own.
I liked the idea of this because you didn’t need to take the time to make a simple syrup. Well, it needed the simple syrup — it was not sweet enough. The rum overwhelmed every other ingredient (and I used good rum. It made about 3/4 cup of the beverage and it says to serve in a tall glass. That tall glass would have to be 1 inch in diameter to fill any kind of a tall glass!
