The Daiquirí is a frozen cocktail popular in island vacation spots and during the summer. Daiquirí named after a beach in Cuba after being invented by an American mining engineer named Jennings Cox, who was in Cuba at the time of the Spanish–American War. It was then introduced daiquiri to clubs in New York.

Originally the drink was served in a tall glass packed with cracked ice. A teaspoon of sugar was poured over the ice, and the juice of one or two limes was squeezed over the sugar. Two or three ounces of white rum completed the mixture. The glass was then frosted with a long-handled spoon. Later the daiquiri evolved to be mixed in a shaker with the same ingredients but with shaved ice. After a thorough shaking, it was poured into a chilled coupe glass.

Today the main ingredients for a daiquiri include rum, citrus juice (typically lime juice), and sugar or other sweetener. The daiquiri has several variations including the strawberry daiquiri, banana daiquiri, Hemingway daiquiri and the avocado daiquiri.
