Bartender's Notes
- Shake hard for 10 to 15 seconds so the lime and syrup fully combine.
- Always use fresh lime juice — bottled tastes dull.
- Chill the coupe in advance; a Daiquiri loses its edge as it warms.
Origin story
The Daiquiri is named after a beach near Santiago de Cuba and is commonly attributed to American mining engineer Jennings Cox in the late 1890s.
