History of National Daiquiri Day

An American engineer supervised the particular mining operation, Jennings Cox, the mining happened in a village called Daiquiri in 1898 during the Spanish-American War. After the work, Jennings and his workers used to gather at a place called Venus Bar where one day, Cox made this drink with Bacardi, lime, sugar in a tall glass of ice and named it after the Daiquiri mines. Soon the cocktail became a staple drink of Havana. In 1909, the drink was introduced to the Army and Navy Club in Washington by Admiral Lucius W. Johnson, a U.S. Navy medical officer. The frozen daiquiri was believed to be created by Ernest Hemingway at El Floridita in Havana in the 1940s.
