History & Origin

The original daiquiri hails from Cuba, where it was first mixed in the early 1900s as a simple blend of rum, lime, and sugar. The Mango Daiquiri is a modern, tropical reinterpretation, likely born from Caribbean or Latin American bartenders experimenting with local fruits. Its rise in popularity mirrors the global love for mangoes and the frozen cocktail craze, especially in beach resorts and summer bars. Over the years, it’s become a favorite for those who crave both the nostalgia of a classic and the punchy, sweet freshness of mango.
