Originating from Cuba
in the early 1900s, the classic daiquiri consisted of three simple ingredients – rum, lime juice, and sugar. This cocktail was popular among locals and became a hit with American tourists in the 1920s.
In the 1940s or 1950s, a bartender by the name of Constantino Ribalaigua experimented with different flavors to enhance the classic daiquiri at his bar, El Floridita in Havana, Cuba. Ribalaigua added fresh strawberries to the mix, creating a fruity and delicious cocktail that quickly became popular among patrons.
Since then, the strawberry daiquiri has gained popularity all over the world, especially during the warmer months. Its refreshing taste and attractive pink hue make it a perfect choice for many occasions.
There are now numerous variations of the drink, including frozen and blended versions.
