How to Make a Pink Daiquiri

Back in the days before daiquiris got bastardized into the giant sugary ice-filled monstrosities they are today, they were simple drinks made with simple ingredients and served straight up in cocktail glasses. This is an old-school daiquiri that just so happens to be pink-colored.
