Cocktailing | Classic Daiquiri

Daiquiris are now all frilly and sweet.

But the original is much more of a treat.

Invented in Cuba in 1898 when an American throwing a party ran out of gin.

Cuban rum was swapped into the punch and made it a win!

The drink turned up at the Army Navy Club in DC

where it became a favorite of Hemingway and Kennedy.

Overtime, the drink got blended and topped with frills

but I recommend the traditional, shaken and chilled.

Classic Daiquiri

1 ounce run

1/2 ounce simple syrup

3/4 ounce fresh squeezed lime juice
