About this recipe

Rum, lime and sugar are at the base of the Daiquiri, a match made in heaven, and a natural combination in the Caribbean, where sugar cane is transformed into both sugar and rum. Drinks including these three base ingredients are recorded as early as 1740. Adding strawberries is not quite as old, but the practice is now fully established, and the combination with lime is a perfect match, the zesty citrus edge lifting juicy, subtly sweet strawberries. There are many fruit versions of the Daiquiri, but this is the one you're most likely to come across in the home of this cocktail, Cuba. Ernest Hemingway's bar of choice in Havana, El Floridita, turns out fine versions of what they term 'Daiquiri de Fresa' and in many places you'll be made this red berry fruit version as a default version of the Daiquiri. Don't listen to those who malign this tasty drink. It's sometimes frowned upon because of the increased use of the frozen margarita machine. By the 1980s, the Daiquiri could be a lurid, slushy concoction available only in unnatural fruit flavours thanks to this method. But the classic strawberry Daiquiri made with fresh ingredients is far from that: a delicious, summery confection that has great flavour and texture. And you can use Captain Morgan Spiced instead of Captain Morgan Original Rum for a burst of flavour.
