The traditional Daiquiri, made with rum, lime juice, and simple syrup, is widely regarded as one of the best cocktails ever made.
It is thought that Jennings Stockton Cox, an American engineer, came up with the recipe in 1898 while he was stationed in the Cuban beach town of Daiquiri. Apparently, the invention of the cocktail was brought about by necessity. Jennings Cox apparently ran out of gin while entertaining friends, so he had to find an alternative. With the combination of rum and lime, the Daiquiri was born. However, given the abundance of limes and sugar in the town of Daiquiri, it seems more likely that the beverage developed gradually over time and it is possible that Jennings Cox was credited for the recipe only because he had documented it by writing the recipe down. In 1909, U.S. Admiral Lucius W. Johnson brought the original cocktail, which up until that point had only been available in Cuba, to the United States. It is said that he introduced the drink to both the Army and Navy Club in Washington D.C. and the University Club in Baltimore. Since then, versions of daiquiri recipes have evolved with more ingredients, with exotic names to boot, including the "Deadbeat Daiquiri," "Torrents of Summer," and "White Lion."
