X

Hi! Hola! Previt! Bon Jour! Ciao! Guten Tag! Sign up Now! for fun info on traveling to Latin America!

Hey fellow cocktailers! Welcome back to the monthly International Cocktail Hour – Drinks ‘Round the World. Your two lovely hostesses Lifecruiser and Travel Experta (Me) are super happy to have you here.

This month I’ll it’s time for a yummy Daiquiri! But I bet you didn’t know this bit of info about it:

The Daiquiri developed in the late 1800′s in Cuba as a medicinal treatment for malaria. Today it is enjoyed as a light cocktail and can be blended for a Frozen Daiquiri. Not sure if it cures any more malaria, but it’s still a lot of fun to drink!

Strawberry Diaquiri

1 1/2 oz Havana Club rum
3/4 oz fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon sugar
1 pound fresh strawberries

Shake Up It!

Pour the rum, lime juice and sugar into a shaker with ice cubes. Blend up the strawberries. Mix together and shake well. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

And don’t forget to toast me!
