The Drain Daiquiri

“I prefer it with two limes. I have, for some time now, preferred most things with two limes.”— Hollis P. Vandermark, host

Instructions

1. 01

   In a cocktail shaker, combine the rum, lime juice, simple syrup, and drain cleaner.

2. 02

   Fill with ice. Shake vigorously for 12 seconds. *(Hollis counts under his breath.)*

3. 03

   Strain into a chilled coupe glass.

4. 04

   Add a single dash of toilet-bowl cleaner for the signature swirl. Do not stir.

5. 05

   Garnish with a lime wheel on the rim.

6. 06

   Serve at once. The drink does not improve sitting; it intensifies.
