History in a glass with classic Cuban flair. A cocktail with a heritage, the Daiquiri was born in the Cuban sugar can fields as a rum-lime-sugar refresher for workers in the hot tropical climate. It quenched the thirst of freedom fighters during the 1898 Spanish-American War, carried in terra cotta bottles into the high mountains. The Daiquiri was “civilized” by Jennings S Cox Jr and FD Pagliuchi who shook it up over ice. La Floridita made it a city drink, adding a sophisticated touch of maraschino liqueur. But it was novelist Ernest Hemingway who put it on the world cocktail map when he wrote: “My Mojito at Bodeguita. My Daiquiri at La Floridita.”

The Rum Trader
The Rum Trader is probably among the oldest bars in Berlin and certainly one of the best kept secrets in town. The place is extremely small, but it is not rare to find the barkeeper dressed in a tuxedo. The bar owner has an extended knowledge of spirits and travels far for a rare rum. You'll find here an amazing variety of the best rums available. A must try treat.
