Daiquiris are rum-based cocktails that typically include some sort of citrus juice and sugar. It is a summery, refreshing drink best enjoyed pool side. Daiquiris were invented in 1898 by American engineers and miners in Cuba during the Spanish-American War. The drinks were named after the small town of Daiquiri in which they were created. By 1909, the smoothie-like drink was introduced to the Americans and subsequently gained more and more popularity. Gather a friend of two and mix up a pitcher of these drinks to enjoy responsibly on a warm summer afternoon.

National Daiqiuri Day on July 19th inspires Americans nationwide to pour themselves a tall glass of this delicious cocktail.
