Jennings Cox is one of the biggest names in cocktails. History has remembered him as the “inventor” of the daiquiri. But as David Wonrich the famous drinks historian says "The daiquiri represents such an obvious marriage between local, as in Cuban, ingredients—rum, sugar, limes—and American technology—cocktail shaker, ice—that it would take the chowder -headedest duffer who ever buttoned a trouser not to invent it." Whether Cox did or didn’t - it’s a great drink and has remained one of the one of the classics since the late 1800’s Our guest today might not have invented it, but move over Jennings Cox, Sly Augustin is in town and he’s made the daiquiri his own.
