A Traditional Daiquiri Recipe ...A Famous Cocktail
Favorite Restaurant Drink Recipe
The traditional restaurant Daiquiri Recipe gets its name from a town in
Cuba where it was first created by an American living there in 1896. It
became a popular drink in the U.S. when the recipe was brought back by
troops after the Spanish-American War.
Ernest Hemingway so enjoyed a Daiquiri he was led to describe it as "the
shallow waters of the sea."
The traditional (or basic) Daiquiri uses rum with sugar and lime juice (or
substitute a quality sweet and sour mix).
