The Daiquiri takes its name from a beach near Santiago de Cuba where American mining engineer Jennings Cox is said to have invented it in 1898. Ernest Hemingway famously loved them at Havana's El Floridita bar. The mini version strips this Cuban classic to its purest essence—quality rum, fresh lime, and a touch of sweetness—in a format that showcases each ingredient without distraction. It's proof that sometimes the simplest recipes benefit most from concentration.
