It was in Santiago de Cuba in the country's southeast, that the first type of daiquiri was created. Today it is recognised as the national cocktail of the island. The drink of rum, lemon juice, sugar and an ice cube -- shaken vigorously -- was popularised in Havana in 1922 by a Spanish immigrant, Emilio Gonzalez, better known as Maragato. A few years later, another newcomer from Spain, Constantino Ribalaigua, known to history as Constante, added crushed ice and a drop of the cherry-based liqueur maraschino to the mix -- creating the daiquiri as we know it better today.
