Daiquiri was born in the town of Daiquiri on the east coast of Cuba in the early 1900s. At the time, mining engineers and American visitors were looking for a refreshing drink in the tropical heat. White rum, lime juice and sugar came together as a simple solution and quickly became a staple of Cuban bars.
“A sip carries the warmth of the sun and the freedom of the wind together”
As Ernest Hemingway's favorite at La Floridita, the Daiquiri has become more than just a drink; it has become a symbol of the summer sun, the cool breeze of the Caribbean and the intimacy of tropical bar culture. Each sip recalls moments spent under the shade of palm trees by the sea, conversations with friends and the tranquility of a warm summer day.
Daiquiri captivates with its simplicity; there is no pretension, only freshness, balance and history. Each sip takes you on a journey through time, feeling the gentle coolness of the tropical breeze on your skin.
