The Original Recipe

If you want to know more, read on. If you’re just here for a recipe, here it is. Mix away, and Cheers.

• 2 oz. white rum
• 1 oz. of lime juice
• 2 tsp. powdered sugar

Shake well with crushed ice. Strain into a chilled glass. Add a spoonful of crushed ice. Enjoy.

This is probably not the daiquiri you recognize, but that overly sweet, deliciously frothy, fruit-filled slush bomb owes its heritage to this more subtle, citrus-forward drink that was named after a mining town in Cuba.

Don’t worry, the fruity recipe is right here.
