A daiquiri is a cocktail drink made from a combination of rum, lime juice and sugar. Over the years several variations of this drink have been developed.

The classic daiquiri was always served in a tall glass full of ice. Both lime and sugar were then sprinkled over the ice and 2-3 ounces of rum was added to make the drink. Using a long spoon the drink was mixed and consumed.

Today, the variations of daiquiri include doubling the portion of rum to 4-6 ounces, omitting the sugar, adding honey/syrup and adding some grape fruit juice. Frozen daiquiri is basically the same thing except that the drink is blended with ice, making it a little slushy.

Daiquiri is a popular drink in most bars and sports clubs. Drinking a few daiquiris on an empty stomach almost always induces a state of lightheadedness and delight.

There is also the strawberry daiquiri- which has become a popular drink both in the home and at social events.  Essentially all the ingredients are combined and Strawberries are added to the blender and pulverized.  This results in a sweet delicious refreshing drink that tastes great.
