Mango daiquiris should be the poster child for lounging around on the backyard patio or in the pool.

I find that standard daiquiris are packed with ice, which tends to water them down.

Its not a heavy drink so it lends itself well to afternoon sipping.

History of Mango Daiquiri

Daiquiris were first developed as a stirred drink.

More specifically, they were muddled, then stirred.

Like plenty of rum cocktails, it was born on the Caribbean Island of Cuba.

Fitting since tropical fruits and rum from sugarcane plantations were reasonably easy to come by.
