Who invented the Daiquiri?
It is believed that the daiquiri was invented by Jennings Cox, an American engineer, who lived and worked in Cuba after the Spanish-American War. As the story goes, while hosting a party, he invented the daiquiri after he ran out of gin. On the fly, he substituted rum in the punch. Thus, the daiquiri was born.
