daiquiris are delectable cocktails that have been around since the 1800's. the daiquiri was invented by a group of american mining engineers in venus bar in santiago.
according to the legend, jennings cox ran out of gin while he was entertaining his american guests so he began mixing together other ingredients, creating the first daiquiri. this cocktail remained fairly local until 1909, when admiral lucius w. johnson tried cox's drink. he loved it so much that he introduced it to the army and navy club in washington d.c., and its popularity soon flourished into the rest of the country.
the original daiquiri recipe contained white rum, sugar, lime juice, and gomme syrup. today, daiquiris can be found in a variety of fruit flavors and can be enjoyed on the rocks or frozen. to celebrate national daiquiris day., mix up your favorite type of daiquiri to cool you off from this summer heat!
