Interesting Facts

The daiquiri is a classic cocktail that originated in Cuba and was named after an iron mine located near the city of Daiquiri.

The original daiquiri recipe contained only three ingredients: rum, lime juice, and sugar.

The addition of simple syrup in this recipe adds a touch of sweetness and balances the acidity of the lime juice.

Using freshly squeezed lime juice is essential for the bright and tangy flavor of a daiquiri.

While the classic daiquiri is often served straight up in a cocktail glass, you can also enjoy it on the rocks for a more refreshing drink.
