IBA Classic Beach

El Daiquiri es uno de los grandes cócteles clásicos del mundo, combinando ron blanco con zumo fresco de lima y un toque de azúcar en polvo para un sour perfectamente equilibrado que muestra el carácter limpio y tropical del ron junto con el cítrico brillante. Con un 17,55% ABV, es un cóctel con protagonismo del destilado pero refrescante que depende completamente de la calidad de sus tres ingredientes para su éxito. Ernest Hemingway era famosamente devoto de este cóctel en el bar El Floridita de La Habana.

History & Origins

Daiquiri was reportedly created around 1898 near the town of Daiquirí in Santiago de Cuba by American mining engineer Jennings Cox, who improvised with the local ingredients available — rum, lime, and sugar — when he ran out of gin to serve to American guests. The cocktail was later refined and popularized by Admiral Lucius Johnson, who brought it to the Army and Navy Club in Washington DC. The IBA recognizes it as a classic.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Clean, fresh lime zest and the light tropical sweetness of white rum, with a neutral, slightly sweet background note from the sugar. Palate: Bright and tart from the lime, with the rum providing a clean, smooth warmth; the sugar balances the acidity without adding perceptible sweetness beyond harmony. Finish: Crisp, refreshing, and clean, with a lime and rum fade.

Pro Tip

Shake hard with plenty of ice for at least 15 seconds to achieve thorough chilling and dilution, and always use freshly squeezed lime juice — the bottled variety will not produce the same result.
