How much Daiquiri for 6 people — exact measures?
Exact Daiquiri measures scaled for your guest count — ml per ingredient and short procedure.
Quick answer
Hosting 6 guests? One Daiquiri per person scales cleanly: **dose × number of drinks**. Base recipe (45 ml White rum · 25 ml Lime juice · 15 ml Sugar syrup) × **6** = your shopping list. Use the party buttons for 10 or 20 — the pain point is batch math before a summer terrace, not memorising IBA ratios.
- White rum
- 270 ml
- Lime juice
- 150 ml
- Sugar syrup
- 90 ml
- Ice
- shake with ice
How to make it
- Shake rum, lime and syrup hard with ice.
- Strain into chilled coupe.
- Serve straight up — no ice in glass.
⚠️ Drink responsibly.
Formula: base dose × number of drinks × glass factor. Non-ml items (splash, mint) stay per-glass notes. Spirits are not sold via our links — use the list when shopping locally.
How it works
We link **bar tools** (shaker, jigger, glasses) — not spirits (Amazon restrictions). Measure locally, mix with the short procedure below, and keep ice and fresh garnishes separate until service.
Frequently asked questions
What are the classic Daiquiri proportions?+
6:4:2 rum : lime : sugar syrup in parts (45 : 25 : 15 ml) — shaken, not blended (that is a frozen daiquiri).
How do I scale Daiquiri for a party of 20?+
Set drinks to 20 — every scalable ingredient multiplies by 20 (and by glass size if you use large cups). Buy spirits with ~10% extra; soda and ice do not store like wine — prep ice in batches and top with fizzy mixers just before serving.
Can I premix everything ahead of time?+
Batch rum + lime + syrup refrigerated; shake 1 portion with ice per drink.
Do you sell the alcohol through this page?+
No — we only suggest bar tools (shaker, glasses, jigger). Buy spirits and vermouth from your local shop; the calculator gives exact ml for your guest count.
