We all know that cards, candy, flowers, and a gourmet meal (or a reserved table at your local White Castle ) finishing with a fantastic dessert are the customary things to give on Valentine’s Day. However, how about surprising your Valentine with a sinfully soothing cocktail at the end of a perfect day? After all, it beats those little candies (you know ~the “conversation hearts”) for sustenance!
Daiquiris always include rum, sugar and lime or lemon juice but, they can also have other types of liquor such as tequila. Daiquiri is also the name of a beach in Cuba with an iron mine nearby. The cocktail was supposedly named by some American contractors working in the mine around 1800. The story goes that they ran out of gin at the bar and with a huge supply of sugar, rum and citrus juices available to them, they decided to combine these ingredients with crushed ice in a glass. They also added a sugar syrup and mixed it all together to produce a drink that wasn’t too sweet and had a bite to it.
Strawberry daiquiris are light and refreshing with that sweet/sour thing going on, ending up in a beautiful, dazzling red color. Since red is the color for Valentine’s Day, here is the perfect, delicious cocktail for you and your sweetheart!
