This famous cocktail takes its name from the site of an iron mine near Santiago in Cuba. It is said to have been invented near the end of the 1800’ by an American engineer working at the mine, during a gathering with a few of his co-nationals. Instead of serving the Cuban rum straight up, as was customary, he added lemon juice and sweetened it with sugar. The Daiquiri was, together with the Mojito, writer Ernest Hemingway’s favourite cocktail.
