The Daiquiri was supposedly created by an American "mining engineer" named Jennings Cox in 1902... That story is probably absolute Bullshit. I refuse to believe that story!
More likely story: Jennings Cox was simply a guy who went to Cuba to buy iron mines in 1902. The Daiquiri was a popular drink in Cuba at that time and was created long before this asshole even got there. Jennings Cox is the type of guy who takes credit for shit he didn't even do... Fuck Jennings Cox and his copyright infringing Ass!
The Daiquiri was really created in the 1700s by Pirates... Pirates who just happened to have a boatload of limes and sugar from hijacking and stealing shit from European trading vessels. The pirates simply wanted to make their rum taste better, so the daiquiri was born. On top of being a legendary and delicious cocktail, the pirates also discovered that it had medicinal properties and is good for fighting off scurvy... Double Win!
The ingredients for the Daiquiri:
2.5 oz Rum
1 oz Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice
1 oz Simple Syrup
Instructions:
Pour contents into a shaker over ice and shake for about 30 seconds to chill the cocktail. Pour the cocktail over crushed ice into a Margarita or martini glass.
Frozen: Pour contents into a blender over ice, and blend for about 30 seconds until the ice is sufficiently crushed. Pour the cocktail into a Margarita or martini glass.
My Review of the Daiquiri:
Have you ever sat back on your sailboat after a long day of sailing and thought to yourself, "Damn, an iceberg would fuck this thing up"? No worries, because one blender full of this Daiquiri will liberate you from any anxieties about sinking your sailboat to the depths of doom, or any other of life's other bullshit.
Rating: 5/5. Live like a pirate! Take everything! Give nothing back!
The Old Fashioned is one of the original cocktails and was created sometime in the 1700s... or 1830’s... Sometime between then. No one is really sure
