Daiquiri History
The Daiquiri was born in 1898 near Daiquiri beach in Cuba. American mining engineer Jennings Cox created it to entertain colleagues using locally available rum, lime, and sugar. The cocktail was named after the nearby beach.
The drink gained worldwide fame when American author Ernest Hemingway frequently enjoyed it at La Floridita bar in Havana, Cuba. Hemingway preferred his own version made with double rum and no sugar, which became known as the "Hemingway Daiquiri" or "Papa Doble."
