Daiquiri Cocktail
This cocktail is a traditional Cuban drink made from white rum and, although there are variations such as the Strawberry Daiquiri, Banana Daiquiri or Daiquiri with various fruits, the original recipe for the Daiquiri is composed of lemon or lime juice. We can also find as a variant the Floridita Daiquiri made with maraschino liqueur, the Double Potato made with grapefruit, or the Daiquiri Hemingway that includes both maraschino liqueur and grapefruit juice.
The history of the Daiquiri places its origin in Cuba in the 1800s, although as with many combinations, it is not known for sure when or in whose hands the original recipe arose.
To improve the appearance of the cocktail, egg white can be added, in this case, it must be taken immediately after preparation.
It is served in a traditional cocktail glass and is ideal as an aperitif.
