Facts about Specific Mocktails
Originating in Cuba in 1896, the daiquiri is a classic mocktail that comes in a variety of flavors, making it as versatile as a chameleon blending into its surroundings.
This refreshing drink has a fascinating history, as it was originally created by an American mining engineer who mixed rum, lime juice, and sugar to combat the heat of the Caribbean.
Since then, the daiquiri has evolved and can now be found in various flavors, such as strawberry, mango, and even coconut. These unique twists on the classic recipe add a burst of flavor to your cruise experience.
Whether you prefer the tangy sweetness of strawberry or the tropical essence of coconut, the daiquiri is a mocktail that will transport you to the sunny shores of Cuba with every sip.
