The 19th of July is Daiquiri Day.

This day celebrates the classic Cuban cocktail known as a daiquiri, made from rum, a touch of sugar, and a citrus juice (typically lime or lemon), shaken with cracked or shaved ice.

There’s also a frozen version which emerged over the years and has become very popular, which is more like a slush.

Which do you prefer, the classic version or the frozen? If you’ve only had frozen daiquiris, you may wish to try the classic version today, as it also has far less sugar.

Do you prefer the citrus juice to be lime, or lemon? Can you taste the difference if the citrus juice is not fresh, but bottled instead, or if the drink has been made from a mix?

Do you like a variation, such as frozen strawberry or frozen pineapple daiquiris?

Today could be a good excuse to treat yourself to a cocktail shaker, if you don’t have one already.

History

The first print mention CooksInfo is aware of for a Daiquiri Day being in July occurred in 2006 in a Montana newspaper:

“On July 19, pull up a deck chair at your favorite bar in town, or just get out your blender and make yourself a whole pitcher of sugary, rum drenched slush — it’s National Daiquiri Day.” — The July Skinny. Helena, Montana: The Independent-Record. Sunday, 2 July 2006. Page 2C, col. 1.
