🔍 Guava Daiquiri 🍹
📍 Seen in Escazú, San José, Costa Rica 🇨🇷
💬 The Daiquiri was reportedly invented in Cuba around 1898 by an American mining engineer named Jennings Cox, who ran out of gin at a party and improvised with local rum and lime — accidentally creating one of the world’s most beloved cocktails. The guava variation takes that tropical spirit even further by swapping citrus juice for the rich, fragrant pulp of one of Latin America’s most iconic fruits.
