Chill out with a daiquiri this summer

Thursday , July 2nd , 2015

And with National Daiquiri Day on July 19, there’s no better time to celebrate the holiday by enjoying some of the best cocktails this city and surrounding area has to offer.

Traditionally, a daiquiri is an unfrozen and tart cocktail comprised of rum, fresh lime juice and sugar. Over time, however, the mixed drink evolved to become frozen, sweet and fruity, and now comes in a variety of flavours, such as mango, peach and strawberry.
