Fill your shaker with cubed ice and seal using your Boston tin or lid, before shaking vigorously for 10-15 seconds or until your tin is very cold.
Remove your glass from the freezer or empty it of ice if necessary.

History
Unlike most classic cocktails the history of the Daiquiri is well recorded. An American engineer, Jennings Cox, working in a Cuban mine called Daiquiri, in southeast Cuba in the 1890’s, is said to have mixed his ration of rum with lime juice and sugar for some guests.
He recorded this all in his own journal, so we can accurately attribute the drink to him. Basil Woon wrote in his 1928 book, When it’s Cocktail Time in Cuba, “The boys used to have three or four every morning. Most of them worked in the Daiquiri mines, the superintendent of which was a gentleman named Cox – Jennings Cox”.
The Daiquiri was introduced to America when a US Army officer bought the recipe back to the Army and Navy Club in Washington DC.
