Tasting notes
What does a Daiquiri taste like? This classic rum cocktail is famous for its perfect balance of flavours. Created using BACARDÍ Carta Blanca rum, fresh lime juice, and sugar, the traditional Daiquiri recipe has long been considered the true test of a skilled bartender.
Mix like a pro
A cold glass makes a world of difference for a perfectly refreshing drink. To achieve this, either keep your glass in the freezer or fill it with ice and water while you prepare your cocktail. Empty it just before serving for the ultimate chill factor.
To make a frozen strawberry Daiquiri, simply add 6 strawberries to your frozen Daiquiri recipe.
Caster sugar (or superfine sugar) is ideal for a hand-shaken Daiquiri. Its fine texture dissolves easily with lime juice, adding balanced sweetness and a subtle, sherbet-like note for a bright, zesty mouthfeel.
Juicing your lime a few hours before making your cocktail can soften its acidity, mellowing the sharpness and creating a smoother mouthfeel in the final drink.
where it all began
ENGINEERING THE PERFECT DRINK
The Daiquiri was born in the Cuban town of Daiquirí, where American engineer Jennings Cox mixed lime, sugar, and BACARDÍ rum to beat the tropical heat. It later rose to fame at Havana’s El Floridita bar, championed by bartender Constantino Ribalaigua Vert. With fans like Ernest Hemingway, it became a global icon—crisp, refreshing, and effortlessly elegant.
