Daiquiri

The Daiquiri is a classic cocktail that is made with rum, lime juice, and sugar. The origins of the Daiquiri can be traced back to the late 19th century in Cuba. The drink was named after the town of Daiquiri, which is located near Santiago de Cuba. The first known reference to the Daiquiri appears in a book by an American mining engineer named Jennings Cox, who wrote about the drink in 1896, describing it as a "local drink made of rum, lime juice and sugar." The Daiquiri gained popularity in the United States during the early 20th century, and it became a staple of American cocktail culture. The Daiquiri is a classic example of a sour cocktail, a category of drinks that includes other favourites such as the Margarita and Whisky Sour. The Daiquiri is a perfect balance of sweet and sour, it's easy to make and it's perfect for any occasion. The Daiquiri is a versatile drink that can be made with different types of rum and variations on the recipe have been created over the years.
