daiquiri
Lime-spiked libation
A daiquiri is a cocktail made with rum, lime juice, and sugar.
The classic version is served straight up, shaken with ice and strained.
Frozen daiquiris are blended with ice into a slush, often with added fruit flavors: strawberry daiquiri, banana daiquiri.
The drink originated in Cuba.
