About the MAlibu Daiquiri
The Malibu Daiquiri is a delicious tropical twist on the classic age-old cocktail. It’s made with smooth Malibu Original, giving it a sweet and coconut flavor profile. Mixed with zesty lime juice and a splash of simple syrup, this variation is like the taste of summer in a glass. Making it perfect for enjoying during sun-soaked afternoons with friends.
Why is it named after the town of Daiquiri in Cuba?
Short answer: Because it was created around there.
Long answer: It’s the end of the 19th century. An engineer that was working outside of the town of Daiquiri wanted to make a drink, and only had rum, lemons and sugar available. Shaking it with ice, he created a delicious drink that was initially referred to as Rum Sour. “Bit of a long name?” he and his friend thought. So, they changed it to the name of the nearby town – Daiquiri.
How did it become famous?
It is said that the creators of the drink went to a bar and ordered a Daiquiri after it was invented. Although the following is not a direct quote, the bartender replied with something along the lines of “huh?”
Of course, he didn’t know what drink they were talking about. The drink was what – a couple of days old? So, they explained how it was done, the bartender made a couple of Daiquiris for them and their friends, and they liked it too. One order led to another, and here we are.
We’d like to leave you with a thought: If an engineer from over a hundred years ago can make up a drink that becomes a beloved classic worldwide – so can you.
