Happy Daiquiri Day

Happy Daiquiri Day from the HolidayChicks.com.

The Daiquiri is a family of cocktails that’s main ingredients are rum, citrus juice and sugar or another sweetener. The drink was originally invented in Cuba and named after the town where fans started enjoying it.

​There are so many Daiquiris to enjoy. Try the original Daiquiri where rum and lime juice is the star. The Banana Daiquiri or Strawberry Daiquiri is always a warm weather favorite. Especially while sitting in a bar, by the beach, with the warm sun and that faint smell of salt and suntan lotion in the air. Mmmmmm. Brings back some nice memories. Oh wait. I forgot the Frozen Daiquiri. All of the above flavors and many more can be ordered frozen. They are beyond delicious.

The Daiquiri was a favorite of President John F. Kennedy and also Earnest Hemingway. Both enjoyed the original recipe. Here is a recipe for the...
