While the original Daiquiri was born in Cuba with just rum, lime, and sugar, the Strawberry Daiquiri exploded in popularity during the frozen cocktail boom of the 1980s. When made fresh — not from syrupy mixes — it becomes a bright, balanced drink that’s perfect for beach days, brunches, or balmy evenings.
