Strawberry Orange Daiquiri
Complexity: easily
Servings: 4
One of the most famous and beloved cocktails, the Daiquiri, was invented in Cuba and the original recipe consists of white rum, lime juice, and simple syrup. The cocktail was named after the Cuban beach of Daiquiri. It became a favorite drink of Hemingway, who lived in Cuba, although the writer, who suffered from diabetes, made the cocktail without sugar, using grapefruit juice. However, this isn't the only change to the traditional Daiquiri recipe. The cocktail pairs so well with many other ingredients that various juices, liqueurs, and fruits have come to be added.
Strawberry Daiquiri is especially popular in the summer. Give it a citrusy freshness with orange syrup and juice. You can skip the rum in this frozen cocktail, making it a refreshing and delicious sorbet for dessert.
