Daiquiri

Cultural Context

Originating in Cuba, the Daiquiri was named after a beach and iron mine near Santiago. It became popular among American expatriates in the early 20th century, especially during Prohibition. The cocktail embodies the spirit of tropical relaxation and has inspired numerous variations, from frozen fruit blends to modern craft interpretations, making it a staple in bars worldwide.
