The exact origin of the Cherry Daiquiri is difficult to pinpoint as it is a variation of the original recipe. However, it is likely that the Cherry Daiquiri first gained popularity in the late 20th century when flavored Daiquiris started to become popular. The Daiquiri itself can be traced back to the early 20th century in Santiago de Cuba, where American mining engineer Jennings Cox is said to have created the drink. Legend has it that Cox ran out of gin while hosting a gathering, so he decided to mix together rum, lime juice, and sugar as a substitute. Thus, the Daiquiri was born. Over the years, the classic Daiquiri recipe has evolved and been adapted to include various fruit flavors.
