The original daiquiri recipe was a mixture of rum, lime, and sugar, served over ice. Constantino Ribalagua, the famed bartender at Havana’s La Floridita—nicknamed La Catedral del Daiquiri—blended the drink with shaved ice, thereby creating the frozen Daiquiri.

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a blender with 1/2 cup cracked ice. Blend until frothy, and serve in a large cocktail glass.

Variations:

Frozen Banana Daiquiri: Add a sliced banana before blending.

Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri: Add 1/2 cup fresh strawberries before blending.
