The Daiquiri’s roots stretch back to early 20th-century Cuba, where it was invented by American mining engineer Jennings Cox. Originally a simple mix of rum, lime, and sugar, the classic daiquiri quickly became a favorite among locals and travelers alike. Over the decades, bartenders have put their own creative spins on the recipe, giving rise to countless fruity variations. The Frozen Mango Daiquiri emerged as a summertime favorite in the late 20th century, blending the daiquiri’s iconic citrus foundation with the lush sweetness of ripe mango and the fun, icy texture of a frozen cocktail.
Garnish with a fresh mango slice and a lime wheel on the rim. This not only adds a pop of color but also cues the vibrant flavors inside the glass.
