<p>The classic cocktail Daiquiri has a rich and fascinating history that dates back to the late 1800s in Cuba. It is said to have been invented by an American mining engineer who mixed white rum, lime juice, and sugar together as a refreshing drink for his workers.</p><p>Over time, the recipe evolved to include different variations, but the traditional Daiquiri still consists of three simple ingredients: lime juice, white rum, and sugar. The tangy and citrusy lime juice balances out the sweetness of the sugar and the strong kick of the white rum, creating a well-balanced and refreshing flavour profile.</p><p>This cocktail has become a staple of bars and mixology, loved for its simplicity and versatility. It can be served straight up, on the rocks, or blended with ice, making it the perfect drink for any occasion.</p>

Traditional Frozen Daiquiri
If you want to keep things really simple, turn your traditional daiquiri into a frozen one and keep those sweat beads at bay! Made with lime juice, rum and sugar syrup, these
staple ingredients are blended with ice until slushy and irresistible, before
being poured into a chilled cocktail glass. Just like the classic drink, but
colder!
Raspberry Daiquiri
This sugary sweet drink is perfect for those that like their cocktails fruity and cold! Made with
lemon juice, sugar syrup and six fresh raspberries added to the traditional rum
and lime juice and blended with crushed ice, this cocktail looks as good as it
tastes.

<p>The Raspberry Daiquiri is a vibrant twist on the classic Daiquiri, bringing a sweet and tart profile to the forefront. Its base is a smooth white rum which is complemented by the sharp tang of fresh lime juice, while the Crème de Framboise—a raspberry liqueur—adds a deep fruitiness and a touch of luxury to the drink.</p><p>The Raspberry Daiquiri's bright red hue and rich berry flavors make it a visually appealing and delicious choice for those looking to enjoy a fruity cocktail. This refreshing libation is typically served in a sophisticated cocktail glass and often garnished with fresh raspberries to enhance its aesthetic appeal and add an extra pop of raspberry goodness.</p>

Cointreau Daiquiri
A daiquiri with a twist! This drink retains the core ingredients of rum and lime juice, but also incorporates lime zest, Cointreau and maple syrup, making for an unusual
daiquiri that cocktail enthusiasts will adore! Blend with so much ice that the
final drink is almost solid and enjoy on the beach under a palm tree (or in
your back garden if the beach is too far
away!)
Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri
Probably everyone’s favourite daiquiri variation, the strawberry flavour also tastes amazing when
chilled. Choose a white variety of rum as your base spirit and add lime juice,
lemon juice, lots of fresh strawberries, strawberry liqueur and sugar. Blend
with plenty of ice and then pour into a chilled highball glass. This daiquiri
tastes just like summer should!
