Celebrate Daiquiri Day in Style

Happy National Daiquiri Day! The daiquiri doesn’t have to be a frozen, neon-colored drink churning in a slushie machine. Rather, the drink is quite easy to create. All you need is some ice, lime or any citrus juice, simple syrup, and a high-quality rum.

Originating in Cuba, the classic drink is rumored to have been a favorite of Ernest Hemingway. Served straight up, over crushed ice, or even blended, the cocktail has taken on many new ingredients over time including maraschino liqueur and bananas. Today, as long as there is rum and lime juice, it seems to be acceptable to call the ever-evolving drink a “daiquiri”.

We created two daiquiri creations to celebrate the day using Diplomático’s Reserva Exclusiva. This high quality rum is aged for twelve years before release to create deep, complex flavors. When it comes to making a drink that only requires three ingredients, of course you have to make sure they are all superb. We matched its oaky, syrup notes with hints of bananas to two daiquiri creations that are ideal to celebrate its national day and easy to shake up all summer long.
