The classic Daquiri originated in Cuba, reputedly invented by a US engineer who was stationed on the island at the turn of the twentieth century and who named his blend of Cuban rum, lime, sugar and ice after the nearest town. The drink was made famous by Ernest Hemingway (of course it was) who not only spent long afternoons at El Floridita bar in Old Havana, drinking industrial quantities of Daiquiris (of course he did), but who also spread the gospel of the Daiquiri far and wide via his stories and novels. There are now countless fruity variations. The author’s services to the Cuban cocktail are commemorated by a bronze likeness stationed permanently at the bar he loved. We think it’s what he would have wanted. Our own hand-crafted Strawberry Daiquiri is the no-fuss way of enjoying a taste of summer in a glass.

Our Strawberry Daiquiri is made with Suffolk Distillery white rum, which takes inspiration from the beautiful rural landscape of Suffolk. Very local to us, their distillery produces a range of spirits with a blend of exotic and locally sourced natural botanicals. Alongside this we use a strawberry liqueur made and complete the drink with sugar syrup, strawberry puree and lime juice to achieve the perfect balance.
