When the Guantánamo Naval Base was being established in the early days of the Republic, a group of officers were initiated into the secret of a cocktail made with the juice of green limes and Bacardi rum. It was immediately named Daiquiri, in honor of its birthplace, a little mining town nearby. The name is now famous.


This recipe is taken

The Old Havana
Cookbook

2 jiggers Bacardi rum
1 teaspoon sugar
Juice of ½ lime
1 cold glass filled with crushed ice
