Daiquiri (properly spelled with an acute accent on the final letter ("daiquirí") and pronounced but commonly anglicized to and written without the accent) is a family of cocktails whose main ingredients are rum and lime juice. There are several versions, but those that gained international fame are the ones made in the El Floridita bar in Havana, Cuba.The Daiquiri is one of six basic drinks listed in David A. Embury's classic The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks. In the book, he also suggests some variations, such as substitute part or all of syrup with grenadine.

I am not a fan of "girly" drinks. I prefer red wine, dark beer and strong whiskey. As far as I'm concerned, coconut and strawberries belong on cake, not in beverages. That being said, get out your martini glasses because I am about to share with you a recipe for the best darn cosmo you'll ever taste.

Today's fastpik, this mixed drink has got to be my new poolside favorite. Its easy to make and all the girls love it. A word of advice, if you try to make this from any other flavor other than "Crystal Light Strawberry Kiwi" it totally taste like crap. The cool think about this mixed drink is that makes alot at once, great for parties.
