Traditionally, the Daiquiri is a stirred citrus and rum cocktail with a hint of sugar to add some sweetness that is served over ice. It has been around for over a century and has had many evolutions through its years. The cocktail is named after the location it was created in – the town of Daiquiri on the southeastern tip of Cuba, and was supposedly invented in 1898 by an American mining engineer named Jennings Cox. A United States Navy medical officer brought the recipe over from Cuba about a decade later, introducing it to the United States.

                            It is said that the drink was invented when Cox ran out of gin while entertaining American guests. Wary about serving local rum straight up, Cox added lime juice and sugar to improve the rum's taste.
