Head to head
Daiquiri and Rum Collins side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference
Rum, citrus and sugar in both. The Daiquiri is shaken with lime and served up, short and strong; the Rum Collins adds lemon to the lime and is built tall over ice with club soda, so it is longer, sharper and lower in strength.
By the numbers
Both have white rum, lime juice and sugar. Only the Rum Collins has lemon juice and soda water. In parts, a Daiquiri is 3 rum, 1 lime and ¾ sugar; a Rum Collins is ¾ lemon, ¼ lime, ¾ rum and 1 soda. By volume, the Daiquiri is 65% spirit, 21% citrus and 14% syrup and sugar; the Rum Collins is 35% mixer and juice, 35% citrus, 26% spirit and 4% syrup and sugar.
The Daiquiri is the stronger drink in the glass (16.6% ABV against 10.1%) and holds more alcohol (1.35 standard drinks against 1.01). The Daiquiri has more calories (about 169 against 129) and more sugar (8.3 g against 5.4 g). The Daiquiri is shaken and served in a coupe; the Rum Collins is built and served in a highball.
