The drink was created around the 1900s by the American mine engineer Jennings Cox, who worked for a mining company.
He made a daiquiri using equal amounts of rum, juice, and sugar. Initially, it was shaken and served over crushed ice.
Daiquiri was the name of the nearby beach, and most likely, the cocktail was named after it.
Here is a copy of the original recipe as written by Mr. Cox.
