About National Daiquiri Day
Ends: Jul 19, 2022
DESCRIPTION:
National Daiquiri Day celebrates the Cuban invention, the daiquiri, a rum-based drink with lime juice, sugar, and crushed ice.
There are two versions of how the daiquiri came to be.
VERSION ONE
An American mining engineer named Jennings Cox, in Cuba during the Spanish American War, is rumored to have created it and called the beverage after the town of Daiquiri near Santiago, Cuba. In 1902 US Congressman William Chanler brought the drink back to New York. World War II would become the catalyst in taking the daiquiri to the height of popularity. Rum was easy to get in the US then, but vodka and whisky were not.
VERSION TWO
Constantino Ribalaigua, a bartender at El Floridita in Havana, created the daiquiri. Ribalaigua is said to have been inspired by Earnest Hemingway. This rendition is doubtful due to the timing. However, Hemingway did list the daiquiri as one of his favorite drinks, calling it the ‘Papa double.’
The original cocktail was created by filling a tall glass with cracked ice, sprinkling it with sugar, and then squeezing the juice of 2 limes over the ice, followed by a shot (or two) of white rum.
As time progressed, the daiquiri became mixed in a shaker. The modern version uses a blender to mix all the ingredients into a slushy drink, presented with a tiny umbrella garnish.
