Best Places To Drink A Daiquiri In Baltimore

Introduced to America in 1909, when it was served at the Army & Navy Club in Washington, D.C, the daiquiri became popular during World War II when grain rations restricted whiskey and beer. Although The Daiquiri is named after a beach in Santiago, Cuba, it was not created by a Cuban, it was invented by American engineer Jennings Cox around 1900. Now known as being served frozen in an array of flavors, in a plethora of glasses, the original daiquiri was served in a tall frosted glass with cracked ice. This retro recipe was completed with white rum, and stirred with a long-handled spoon. In later years, the daiquiri evolved to being mixed in a shaker, with the same ingredients but with shaved ice instead. After being shaken, it was poured into a chilled flute glass.

The daiquiri remains a staple in many popular bars and pubs across the country, and Charm City just happens to be one of those places! With that being said, check out these five places that offer some of the best daiquiris in town. Be sure to also mark your calendars for National Daiquiri Day on July 19!
