Description: A three-ingredient classic — rum, lime, sugar — that's the ancestor of nearly every frozen and flavored variant sold today.
Cultural Background: Named after a village and iron mine near Santiago de Cuba, created there in the early 1900s by an American mining engineer.
Tips: Fresh lime juice is non-negotiable; this drink lives or dies on citrus quality.
Variations: Add fresh strawberry or banana and blend with ice for a frozen fruit Daiquiri.
Serving Suggestion: Serve up, ice cold, in a well-chilled glass.
