Alcoholic cocktail in coconut “Tropicano coffee” - recipe

In order to proceed to cooking, you first need to free the coconut from the fruit. To do this, we need to drain the coconut milk and then cut off the top of the nut. Next, we clean out the entire inside, and we are left with an empty “glass.”



Now we need to brew coffee. We will do this using a coffee machine. We need approximately 30-40 ml of ready-made coffee. This type of coffee is called espresso. The principle of operation of the coffee maker is to pass hot water through a layer of ground coffee under a certain pressure.


Pour the finished coffee into a glass with ice.


Before the coffee has cooled completely, you must immediately add sugar. Add the amount of sugar to your taste. And mix as thoroughly as possible until the sugar is completely dissolved.


Now you need to add cream to the coffee; if you don’t have cream, you can safely replace it with milk, or as an alternative - dry cream. You need to add 50 grams of it. We measure using a measuring stick.


Then add cream to the already cooled coffee.


Now for a luxurious taste we'll add Johnnie Walker Red Label Whiskey. Using a measuring stick, measure out 50 grams.


Add to coffee.


For a more interesting taste and smell, you can sprinkle a little ground cinnamon on top of the coffee foam. Alcoholic cocktail in coconut “Tropicano coffee” ready.

Instead of regular granulated sugar, you can and should add sugar syrup to cold ones, which can easily be prepared at home. To do this, you will need 100 grams of boiled or filtered water for 200 grams of sugar.

The Dominican Republic is a country with a unique tropical culture and rich vegetation. Thanks to the abundance of various natural ingredients, they have formed their own preferences in the set and recipe of drinks and cocktails.

IN Dominican Republic Freshly squeezed juices and fruit mixes from bananas, oranges, lemons and exotic fruits, as well as cocktails using coconut water or cream, are very popular.

Coffee and rum are considered the country's “national treasure”. It is not surprising that the latter has become one of the most beloved alcoholic drinks and the main components of popular cocktails. It goes well with all juices, as well as coconut milk and many other ingredients. For cooking Light rum is usually used in cocktails, although sometimes the dark comes into play.

As the culture of rum consumption changed, the popularity of the first, still quite primitive, variants of cocktails grew. However, the real “cocktail boom” happened in the USA during the period of Prohibition from 1920 to 1933 and after its repeal. America back then was obsessed with cocktail parties and bars. At the same time, many mixed drinks that later became classic were invented. The concepts of the art of mixing and the culture of drinking cocktails appeared.

Caribbean cocktail recipes

Making cocktails is a whole science. There are a number of rules that must be followed. A classic cocktail should contain no more than 5 components. It is also important not to forget about certain proportions. But a little imagination, of course, won’t hurt.

Here are some recipes for alcoholic cocktails popular in the Dominican Republic.

Coco-loco

The Coco Loco cocktail (Spanish: Coco loco) is originally Dominican. It was originally made in a coconut shell: the top of the coconut was cut off, and rum and fruit juice were added directly to the coconut milk inside. The cocktail was drunk exclusively through a straw. It gained popularity in the world after the beaches of the Dominican Republic became a popular world resort. But gradually the cocktail recipe changed. Nowadays, rum and coconut milk can be replaced with Malibu liqueur alone, adding pineapple juice. There are many variations of the original cocktail recipe. Only the base remains constant - the rum-coconut taste, which is provided by Malibu liqueur.

Ingredients: Malibu - 60 ml, pineapple juice - 150 ml, cubed ice. Bar accessories: highball - a tall glass of regular cylindrical shape.

Directions: Pour all ingredients into a highball glass with ice.

Mojito

Mojito (Spanish: Mojito) is one of the most popular cocktails. The main components of a classic Mojito are always 5: rum, soda, lime, sugar, and mint. This is the perfect combination of sweet and refreshing citrus and mint. Mojito, like many rum-based drinks, first appeared in the capital of Cuba - Havana, in the small restaurant Bodeguita del Medio (La Bodeguita del Medio). The restaurant was founded by the Martinez family in 1942 and is still in business.

Ingredients: white rum - 40 ml, soda water - 100 ml, lime - 25 g, mint - 6 petals, unrefined sugar - 10 g, crushed ice. Bar supplies : highball, bar spoon, muddler (“bar masher”).

Pina Colada

Pina Colada (Spanish: Pina Colada) is a sweet Caribbean cocktail. In Russian, the distorted name Pina Colada has taken root, translated as “filtered pineapple.” This was once the name given to fresh pineapple juice that was served strained (colada) as opposed to unstrained (sin colar). Later, rum and sugar were added to the juice. The cocktail finally acquired its modern look in the mid-20th century in Puerto Rico. One of the local bartenders came up with the idea to add coconut milk to the cocktail, which radically changed the taste of the drink and made it one of the most popular cocktails.

Ingredients: white rum - 30 ml, pineapple juice - 90 ml, coconut cream - 30 ml or Creme de coco liqueur, crushed ice. Bar accessories: hurricane (a glass for tropical cocktails on a short stem), blender.

In the midst of the revelry, one soldier made a toast “Por Cuba Libre!” in honor of Cuba's newfound freedom, “Cuba Libre!” - the crowd echoed. There are several variations of the cocktail, but one ingredient is always the same - one way or another, the drink always includes cola.

Ingredients: white rum - 50 ml, Coca-Cola - 120 ml, lime juice - 10 ml, cubed ice. Bar accessories: highball glass, citrus press.

Method of preparation: squeeze lime into a highball glass with ice, add rum, fill with cola, garnish with a slice of lime or lemon.

Daiquiri

Daiquiri (Spanish: Daiquiri) - this world-famous cocktail also first appeared in Cuba. And it was there that many cocktails based on the classic recipe later appeared. In some of them, sugar syrup is replaced with some kind of fruit juice or fruit puree, in others, lemon is used instead of lime. The original recipe contains only white rum and lime juice, lightly sweetened with sugar syrup. It was in this version that the cocktail was invented by an American engineer who lived in Cuba in 1898. He named his drink after the Daiquiri beaches near Santiago, Cuba.

Ingredients: white rum - 45 ml, lime - 25 ml, sugar syrup - 15 ml. Bar accessories: shaker, cocktail glass, citrus press, strainer (English strainer - filter, sieve).

Flamingo

The Flamingo cocktail (Spanish: Flamingo), another native of Liberty Island, is a light fruit cocktail with a pronounced rum flavor. His invention dates back to the times when Cuba for Americans was something like present-day Florida, but much cheaper and more accessible.

In those years, a huge amount of rum accumulated in the city’s warehouses, which no one wanted to buy.

The key to success in this preparation is freshly squeezed pineapple juice. Add a slice of orange and a maraschino cherry - the composition will be perfect.

Ingredients: pineapple juice - 2 cups, orange juice - 2 cups, white rum - 1 cup, dark rum - 190 ml, Campari(italianCampari) - 3 tablespoons, bitter liqueur (bitter) red color based on aromatic herbs and fruits, orange, maraschino cherries, ice.

The taste is an incomparable drink, with an individual juice that is unlike any other juice. In hot weather, no other drink can quench your thirst the way coconut juice does. People living in hot and humid climates drink young coconut juice as a cooling and refreshing drink. Young coconuts contain more coconut water, approximately 300ml per nut. During the ripening process, the water turns into white coconut flesh and the juice becomes less.

The coconut palm grows in all tropical countries. Coconut palms grow up to 20 meters in height. They begin to bear fruit in the third year of life. This is the only type of palm tree that can feed on salty sea water. Therefore, many islands and tropical, mainland beaches abound with these palm trees.

Ripe coconuts fall to the ground or sand and germinate within six months. Coconuts, wonderful travelers. Having fallen from a palm tree into the water, they travel from island to island, from continent to continent, across seas and oceans. Once on land, they take root on any soil or sand, with the only amendment that the shore on which the waves washed the coconut must be warm, tropical, since this tree is very heat-loving.

The coconut palm lives as long as the upper part of the tree, with leaf stems, is alive. If you cut down the top of a tree, the tree dies. The fruit of the coconut palm is a coconut with coconut sap inside. Coconut juice is natural and sterile. Water rises through the capillaries of the coconut tree trunk and is finally formed inside the coconut, forming coconut juice.

The benefits of coconut juice are undeniable. Low in carbohydrates and sugar, the juice is 99% fat free. These qualities of juice already place it in the first position among diet drinks. But there are some other properties of coconut juice that make it truly unique. As a natural isotonic drink, coconut juice has the same level of electrolyte balance as blood plasma and is a universal natural donor. During the Pacific War of 1941-45, both sides of the conflict used coconut juice for the wounded as an alternative to blood plasma.

Coconut juice is more nutritious than whole milk because it contains less fat and no cholesterol. Coconut juice is much better than formula-fed infants and contains naturally occurring lauric acid, which is found in healthy mother's milk. Due to its unique nutritional properties, coconut juice is an invaluable food product during pregnancy and lactation. Coconut juice should be drunk immediately after extracting it from the nut, since when combined with air, the liquid quickly loses most of its organoleptic and nutritional properties. Therefore, there is no point in consuming canned coconut juice. A coconut is a kind of thermos and a natural container for long-term storage of juice, but as soon as the coconut is opened, this container ceases to fulfill its protective functions for long-term storage, and the juice must be consumed as soon as possible so that it does not lose its properties.

Since coconut water is a natural isotonic drink, the body does not spend effort on processing and assimilating it. Coconut juice is an energy accumulator for humans. It contains many vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that make it a wonderful natural energy drink. Coconut juice contains less sugar and sodium and more potassium and calcium compared to sports and energy drinks. Coconut juice has a unique chloride content of 118 mg compared to most sports and energy drinks. Thus, coconut juice is the best choice for restoring the body's water balance and increasing body energy.

Regular consumption of coconut juice gives the following results:
- reduction of toxins and antiviral effect;
- assistance in the healing of age spots, acne and other skin problems;
- getting rid of intestinal worms;
- relieving fatigue;
- natural increase in the stability of the immune system;
- help with diabetes;
- relief from abdominal pain and intestinal disorders;
- strengthening metabolism and normalizing weight;
- prevention of hypertension;
- prevention of urolithiasis;
- restoration of the acid-base balance of the body;
- reducing the risk of cancer;
- improvement of blood circulation.
- increased tone.

Applying fresh coconut juice every night before bed on affected areas of the skin reduces acne, age spots, wrinkles, stretch marks, cellulite, and eczema.

Coconut juice has no known side effects, making it one of the best natural drinks on earth. Drink it and always be healthy!

It's no secret that any alcoholic beverage is quite harmful to the body. However, some of the drinks have been turned into a unique work of art, with skillful hands and creative ideas.

And it is unusual and tasty drinks that will be discussed in this article. I would like to note that almost every cocktail listed below has its own non-alcoholic counterpart, which allows absolutely anyone to enjoy their taste. So, the top 10 most famous alcoholic cocktails, enjoy reading!

One of the most popular and favorite drinks according to the site. Its history begins in the 16th century, and the “authors” are considered to be the brave English pirates, who began to add lime and mint to their favorite strong alcohol (or simply moonshine). But it is difficult to establish the place of birth, because pirates never sat in one place, but still, it is generally accepted that it was in Cuba that Mojito “began his dizzying career.” By adding such components to a strong alcoholic drink, they made the drink not only taste good, but also useful (cholera prevention). The Mojito recipes that have come down to us are almost a hundred years old. There are different variations of this mix, but the most popular remains the classic recipe, where the main ingredient is Bacardi rum.

Where does this name come from? There are several versions... The name comes from words with similar pronunciation, which are translated from different languages ​​as “slightly wet”, “little magic”, and there is also a similar name for Cuban sauce.

So, the cocktail includes:
Bacardi 50 ml
Half a lime
Peppermint leaves (at least 5-6)
Sugar syrup
Soda (carbonated water) 50 ml.
And, of course, crushed ice.

Mojito is served in a tall glass, garnished with mint leaves and drunk through a straw.

A drink prepared in coconut or pineapple not only looks impressive, but is also the most delicious. The name of this drink translates as “filtered pineapple” and it came to us from Puerto Rico, where fresh strained pineapple juice was originally called this, later they began to add rum to it, and even later “Pina Colada” appeared in one of the bars. It immediately gained a ton of fans, became the pride of Puerto Ricans and the official drink of the country.

The classic Pina Colada cocktail is prepared in a blender and here are its components:
Pineapple juice – 90 ml
Coconut cream – 30 ml
Light rum – 30 ml

Add ice and shake. The drink is served in a glass, garnished with a “drunk cherry” or a piece of pineapple. There may be other cocktail options.

The unusual color makes it stand out among other alcoholic drinks. The unique color and pleasant taste will leave an unforgettable impression after tasting this cocktail. It appeared in the middle of the last century, and was invented by a bartender at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. And the reason for the “invention” was an order from an alcohol company to promote the new Blue Curacao liqueur. After several options, it was decided to settle on this composition. And the name probably appeared thanks to a hit with the same name.

The taste of this cocktail is a tropical mix combined with rum and liqueur. All these ingredients give an amazing, intoxicating taste that has become loved all over the world and glorified the exotic island.

The composition of the cocktail is as follows:
Light rum – 20 ml
Coconut liqueur (Malibu) – 20 ml
Pineapple juice – 40 ml
Blue Curacao – 20 ml

Mix all the ingredients and crushed ice thoroughly in a shaker, pour into a glass, garnish with an umbrella, an orange slice or a cherry and... Enjoy! You can drink it at any time of the day; it perfectly refreshes and tones.

A relatively young and very popular cocktail. It first appeared under the name “Sand in Shorts” in the eighties of the last century, when there were times of hippies with crazy parties on the beaches.

Now you can find it in any self-respecting bar. It is always in the top, has a bright color and pleasant taste and is quite easy to prepare. The fair sex simply adores it for its pleasant fruity taste, and the name will leave few people indifferent, because it evokes pleasant thoughts. The characters of the series “Santa Barbara” brought incredible popularity to this cocktail all over the world, because in almost every episode the characters enjoyed it.

“Sex on the Beach” has gained such wild popularity in such a short time, but for various reasons: firstly, it is very tasty, secondly, there is almost no alcohol in it, thanks to fruits and berries, and thirdly, it is easy to use cooking, even at home.

So, to prepare this cocktail, you need to follow the recipe:
Vodka – 60ml
Peach liqueur – 30ml
Cranberry juice – 60ml
Orange juice – 60ml

Pour all ingredients into a shaker with ice and shake well. Strain the drink, pour into a highball with ice, garnish with an orange slice - and there you have it, “Sex on the Beach”!

B-52

One of the most famous cocktails! It is impossible to imagine a single club party without this drink, which has conquered all continents. In the middle of the last century, this three-colored sweetish drink was created in one of the Malibu bars. It was named after the American missile-carrying bomber Boeing B-52. There are other versions of the origin of this cocktail, but the version with a bomber is still considered the most real.

It is advisable to prepare the B-52 in the presence of the guest who ordered it, firstly, in order to impress with your knowledge and skills, and, secondly, it is imperative to explain how to drink this shot.

Of course, professional bartenders will make this cocktail better, but it’s also possible at home

To prepare you will need:
Coffee liqueur (Kahlúa) – 20ml – bottom layer
Then Cream liqueur (Baileys) – 20 ml
And the top layer will be Orange liqueur (Cointreau) – 20ml

The whole difficulty lies in evenly distributing the drinks so that they do not mix. Add liqueurs using the blade of a knife or the back of a cocktail spoon. This must be done slowly and carefully. When the drink is ready, you can simply drink it, or you can set it on fire. In the second case, you need to drink through a straw, lowering it to the very bottom layer and very quickly, so that the straw does not melt, and instead of the delicious taste of B-52, you do not feel the taste of melted plastic. It is not recommended to abuse the drink, as after 3-4 servings the euphoria may end and severe intoxication may occur.

A legendary cocktail that almost everyone knows or has at least heard of. And, naturally, there are a huge number of versions about the origin of the name, and, of course, they are all connected with a girl named Margarita. But, in any case, this chic drink was born in Latin America somewhere in the period 1935-1940. And since then, “Margarita” has been walking around the planet and is the favorite drink of millions.

If you tried this cocktail in a restaurant and became a fan of it, you can prepare it at home yourself.

The classic Margarita consists of:
30 ml tequila
30ml lime
15ml orange liqueur
And the constant companion of any cocktail is crushed ice..

All this must be mixed in a shaker, shake everything well and pour into a previously prepared glass. And the preparation of the glass is as follows: the edges of the glass must be moistened and dipped in salt so that a delicate “crown” appears, then garnish with a slice of lime.

The International Bartenders Association recognized this cocktail in 1986, and the cult television series “Sex and the City” brought it worldwide fame. After all, every evening on television, charming beauties enjoyed Cosmopolitan. Today, at almost every party, you can see chic ladies with stylish glasses in hand. And naturally, like any such popular drink, Cosmopolitan has a mysterious origin - there are several versions, and which of them is the most truthful is unknown... One of the versions - the cocktail was created as an addition (PR - promotion) to Absolut Citron lemon-flavored vodka. This drink with a mild taste and aroma of cranberries can be tried not only in bars, but also prepared at home!

Let's take:
45ml vodka (preferably lemon flavored)
15ml Cointreau liqueur
Lime juice 5-7 ml
30ml cranberry juice
ice
Mix everything in a shaker and pour into a glass, which must be cooled in advance - either with pieces of ice or simply in the refrigerator. Cosmopolitan is usually served without decorations. It is customary to drink it in small sips to experience the soft and original taste.

It appeared at the beginning of the twentieth century in a small town on Liberty Island. His story is quite prosaic. No one could have imagined that thanks to a simple chance and the ingenuity of a young man, a legendary and beloved cocktail would be born. When the bar ran out of gin, it was necessary to treat the guests to rum, but in order to like the drink, they had to add sugar and lime juice to it. This combination created a sensation among the guests, and the world received a new wonderful drink called “Daiquiri”!

The classic recipe for this cocktail looks like this:
White rum – 45ml
Lime juice – 20ml
Sugar – 5g
Crushed ice about 100g

In a chilled shaker, mix all the ingredients, mix everything very thoroughly and pour into a cold glass. It's simple, but the taste and effect are amazing!

Now there are many variations of Daiquiri in the world: with banana, strawberry, passion fruit, coffee liqueur, etc. Rum, lime and... your imagination!

“Por Cuba Libre!” This is exactly the toast that American soldiers made for a free Cuba. In the post-war period, Americans began to supply bottled syrup of their favorite drink to this country. And the favorite drink of Cubans has always been rum, of which there was a huge amount on Liberty Island. The Americans mixed two favorite drinks from two different countries, added a little lime - and here it is an exotic drink that very quickly found its fans not only in Cuba, but throughout the world. And since bars often toasted to a free Cuba, the cocktail got its name! And even during the Prohibition era, Cuba Libre not only did not lose its position, but also became one of the most popular drinks. Now there are many different versions of this cocktail, we offer you a classic recipe.

Take:
White rum – 50ml
Coca-Cola – 120ml
Lime juice – 10ml

Fill the glass almost to the top with ice, squeeze a small wedge of lime into the glass and leave it between the ice cubes. Pour Coke and rum and garnish with a slice of lime. Everything ingenious is simple!

Such a legendary cocktail cannot have one, truly known history. So, many argue that the cocktail is named after the ardent Catholic Queen of England Mary I Tudor, because for her cruel reprisals she received the nickname Bloody Mary. Another version is associated with Ernest Hemingway, a lover of strong drinks, when he returned home “in joy” his wife, whose name was Mary, made scandals for him. The writer experimentally established that the components of “Bloody Mary” perfectly “remove” the smell of fumes and there is a chance to avoid a scandal... There were several more people who claimed authorship. And yet, Fernando Pita Petiot is considered to be the official author. Initially, this drink was considered an excellent “anti-hangover” remedy.

The first official mention of this drink said that it consisted of juice and vodka. And Fernando added other components, and The recipe now looks like this:
Tomato juice – 150ml
Vodka – 75ml
Lemon juice – 15ml
Salt, pepper, celery sprig.

And if you wish, you can add three drops of Tobasco and Worcester's sauces. The cocktail is served in a highball glass, garnished with celery, and drunk through a straw. There is a variant of a “two-tier” cocktail, when the first layer is red tomato juice, and the second is vodka, but red and black pepper and salt are still added there. This option is very popular in Poland, because in appearance it resembles the country’s flag. In Russia, many people prepare this option at home.

How nice it is to drink a glass of your favorite cocktail in the evening - alcoholic or not, it doesn’t matter, it all depends on your desire and taste. I must say a huge thank you to the person who first thought of mixing several ingredients, as a result of which the first cocktail was born.

Some argue that the word “cocktail” comes from the Spanish expression cola di gallo - the tail of a rooster. This is the name given to the root of one of the plants, which was used by a bartender from the town of Campeche on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico to mix the drinks he prepared because of its external resemblance. American sailors, who never missed a single bar, loved to visit this one in Campeche. When asked what kind of instrument he had in his hands, the polite bartender answered in English: “Cocktail” - “rooster’s tail.” There is another story that connects the origin of the “cocktail” with the “rooster’s tail”. This story belongs to James Fenimore Cooper. According to him, the first cocktail was prepared in the 70s of the 18th century by the canteen of General Washington's troops, Elizabeth Flanegan. One day she served the officers a drink of rum, rye whiskey and fruit juices, decorating the glasses with feathers from the tails of fighting cocks. One of the officers, a Frenchman by birth, at the sight of such decoration of glasses, exclaimed: “Vive le cog’s tail!” ("Long live the rooster's tail!"). Everyone liked this half-French, half-English phrase, and the drink began to be called “cocktail” - rooster tail.

Today there are many recipes for all kinds of cocktails. But among them there are those that are 100 percent present in any bar in the world, be it a French restaurant or an American eatery.

There are 2 types of mojito: low alcohol and non-alcoholic. Originating from the island of Cuba, it became popular in the United States in the 1980s. There are several theories about the origin of the name "Mojito". One says that the word comes from Spanish. Mojo (moho, mojito - diminutive).

Another claims that mojito is a modified mojadito (Spanish: Mojadito, d. from mojado), which means “slightly moist.”
A mojito traditionally consists of five ingredients: rum, sugar, lime, sparkling water and mint.

A cocktail of Latin American origin, its appearance dates back to approximately 1936-1948, there are many versions about its appearance, almost all of them involve a woman named Margarita. The first version is that the author of the first Margarita is the Mexican bartender Carlos Harrera. In 1938, he worked at the Rancho La Gloria bar in Tijuana, where the aspiring actress Margarita once dropped in. Her blond curls and heavenly beauty inspired Carlos to create the first glass of cocktail - spicy and gentle at the same time.
But there is another story that tells about the Texas aristocrat Margarita Seims. Allegedly, one year around 1948, she gave a grand reception at her villa in Acapulco. She treated her guests to a new tequila cocktail of her own invention. The guests loved it, they slowly got drunk and had fun. So everyone would have drunk and forgotten the hostess’s creation, but among the guests was Tommy Hilton, owner of the Hilton hotel chain. Tommy, as a pragmatic businessman, realized that good money could be made from the bohemian lady’s invention. A couple of days later, the cocktail appeared on the menu of bars and restaurants in his hotels. It is not known whether he shared profits from sales with Madame Seymes, but he secured her copyright in the name of the cocktail.

Sometimes Triple Sec liqueur is added to it. When preparing this drink, it is important to strictly observe the proportions.

A common version is that the cocktail was first invented during the years of Prohibition, as it resembles ice tea (iced tea) in appearance and aroma.

This classic cocktail dates back to the beginning of the 19th century. Although no one will say about its exact origin, we do know that it was invented by a bartender named Collins at the famous Limmers Hotel in London. The original recipe used Dutch juniper berry spirit, similar to gin. Ultimately, this ingredient was replaced by the sweeter London dry gin, Old Tom, hence the name Tom Collins. In fact, the name "Collins" is now used for a variety of other cocktails that are made with soda, sugar syrup, lemon juice and a spirit ingredient. In the USA, the John Collins cocktail is made with Bourbon whiskey instead of gin. Other drinks called Collins are mixed using brandy, rum or Scotch whiskey.

Daiquiri

This cocktail is believed to be of Cuban origin. It contains lime juice, rum and syrup. In casinos, the most popular varieties of this cocktail are “Derby Daiquiri”, “Peach Daiquiri”, “Banana Daiquiri”, etc. Fruit pulp is added to them. The drink was invented in the town of Daiquiri at the beginning of the twentieth century. In 1896, a certain Jennings Cox (American mining engineer), cursing the heat, mixed the above-mentioned rum with lime juice for himself and his friends, and not just mixed, but poured these ingredients onto ice cubes. This is how the Daiquiri cocktail turned out. Ernest Hemingway promoted this invention in his novels; he was a big fan of this drink. And in 1893, during the celebration of Cuba's independence, an American army officer raised a toast to a free Cuba by mixing Bacardi rum, symbolizing Cuba's free spirit, with Coca-Cola, America's new drink. The slogan of those days was “Long live free Cuba!” forever preserved in the name of the Cuba Libre cocktail.
The Daiquiri's popularity skyrocketed when Francis Scott Fitzgerald mentioned it in his book Beyond Paradise, published in 1920. In an episode warning about drinking rum in moderation, a group of characters each order a double daiquiri as a harbinger of the "intoxicating evening" which ends in hallucinations.

Ingredients:

6/10 Bacardi or Havana Club white rum
3/10 lemon or lime juice
1/10 sugar syrup

What to do: Pour ingredients into a shaker filled with ice and shake for 10 seconds. Strain into a cocktail glass. You can get a Pink Daiquiri by adding a few drops of Grenadine.
