DAIQUIRI

Ernest Hemingway was born on this day in 1899. Paris, bullfighting, Africa, Key West, and Spain were all glorified in his writing, as was Cuba and its classic rum drink, the daiquiri. The best Cuban rums are light and come from the area around Santiago de Cuba. It appears the daiquiri also originated there around 1900, when American mining engineers cooled off in the bar of the Venus Hotel after a sweltering day. They drank a mixture of rum, lime, ice, and sugar that came to be named for the mines, daiquiri.

Here is the version from the Floridita bar in Havana where Hemingway reigned.
