It's one of the most iconic warm weather drinks -- you know summer (or your tropical vacation) has officially started when you've got a daiquiri in hand. The historic drink is delicious, whether it's of the frozen strawberry variety, or you've mixed rum, lime juice and sugar in a martini glass. It definitely deserves it's own national day of recognition, which happens to be today, July 19th!
