About the day
National Daiquiri Day falls on 19 July. It began as an American drinks day, and bars in many countries now mark it.
The drink is usually credited to American mining engineer Jennings Cox in Cuba in 1898, using white rum, lime and sugar. Bartenders at El Floridita in Havana later refined it, and Ernest Hemingway helped popularise it.
The day suits rum brands, bars and cocktail lounges, mixer and syrup makers, drinks retailers and hospitality groups. Messages should be responsible and aimed at adults who choose to drink.
