History
Refreshing when chilled, but serving natural reveals more complex flavours.
Emilio Gonzalez is said to have transformed the Natural Daiquiri into this frozen iteration at the Plaza Hotel in Cuba. However, Constantino "Constante" Ribalaïgua Vert, from Havana's celebrated El Floridita, was responsible for popularizing the drink.
