You can always make this fruity drink on the rocks instead. Either way, you’ll be transported to white sands, blue waters, and a good mood with each sip you take.
What Exactly is a Daiquiri?
Thought to have originated in Cuba in the late 19th century, the daiquiri is a classic Cuban cocktail. It’s typically made with rum, lime juice, and sugar. Exact proportions vary from mixologist to mixologist. However, the balance of sweet, tart, and strong is the key to making this beloved cocktail. Daiquiris are often served frozen (as is the case of our recipe) or on the rocks, and they can be garnished with a lime wedge or a sprig of mint.
