Daiquiris

A Daiquiri is a drink made from rum, lime and sugar, invented in 1896 by an American mining engineer named Jennings Cox, who was living in Cuba. It is named after the nearby town of Daiquiri.

There are two major types of Daiquiri: the original drink invented in 1896, and a later version, made using crushed ice, called the Frozen Daiquiri. You can learn more about both types of cocktail by selecting an item in the menu below.
