Daiquiri recipes: Havana Original Daiquiri and Strawberry Daiquiri
Although usually we think of daiquiris as being "fruitful," the original Havana recipe is quite simple. (Hemingway liked his with extra rum and no sugar) Also tough to find a bartender who knows how to make one!
ORIGINAL HAVANA DAIQUIRI
Ingredients
- 2 oz. light rum
- 1 oz. plus one tsp. fresh lime juice
- ½ oz. simple syrup
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine rum, lime juice, and simple syrup. Shake vigorously, then strain into a cocktail glass.

- 1 cup white rum
- 3 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and coarsely chopped
- freshly squeezed lime juice from 2 to 3 limes
-
1 cup Ice cubes
Preparation
In a blender combine the rum, strawberries, lime juice, and ice. Pulse to blend. If you prefer it a little more slushy, add more ice a 1/2 cup at a time and pulse to blend to your desired consistency. Divide between glasses.
