El Floridita Daiquiri

The El Floridita Daiquiri was popularly prepared in Havana in the 1930s, and is a slight variation on the original daiquiri that's worth adding to the regular drinks rotation.

Hemingway Daiquiri

This recipe makes a drink--which, just to make things even more confusing, is also known as a Daiquiri No. 3--that is much less tart than the citrus bombs the Floridita was serving, and with a potency that's more likely to put you in a pleasant mood on a late-summer day than to steer you into a long, grisly night that ends with you waking up on a fishing boat drifting somewhere south of Key West.

The Best Frozen Daiquiri

The best frozen daiquiri is tart, fresh, and holds its icy chill. Keep in mind that the sweetness of rum varies, so you'll need to taste your first batch and consider adding a touch more of simple syrup if needed.

Mojito

Good white rum, lime, and fresh mint: A classic mojito is a crisp and refreshing highball, not a sickly-sweet cliché.

Savory Cucumber and Green Chartreuse Frozen Daiquiri

Cool cucumbers and herbal Green Chartreuse make for a savory, intriguing spin on the frozen daiquiri that's wonderfully refreshing.

The Best Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri

This cocktail features fresh strawberries that get thrown in the blender with a super-chilled rum-lime-sugar mix. The result has a more intense flavor and stays slushy and cold.

The Periodista

The Periodista is very easy to love. Starting with the basic rum-lime-sugar building blocks of a daiquiri, the Periodista is gussied up with the addition of two liqueurs: Cointreau, the dry orange liqueur that lends crispness and elegance to most drinks it encounters, and the aforementioned apricot liqueur, which makes the drink richer more alluring.

Mojito

Mojito - arguably the most refreshing cocktail in the world!! Made with white rum, fresh mint leaves, sugar syrup, club soda and limes.
