About Daiquiri

A daiquiri is a classic cocktail that originated in Cuba, traditionally made with white rum, lime juice, and simple syrup. Over time, variations like fruit-flavored daiquiris have become popular. The drink is known for its refreshing citrus flavor and smooth texture. Nutritionally, a standard serving of daiquiri provides approximately 119 calories, primarily from carbohydrates, with minimal protein, fat, and fiber content. It contains some vitamin C from lime juice, but offers otherwise low micronutrient levels.

Health Benefits

• Provides vitamin C (2.5 mg per serving), which supports immune health and protects cells from oxidative damage.
• Low in fat, with only 0.1 grams per serving, making it a light option compared to cream-based cocktails.
• Contains lime juice, offering small amounts of potassium and antioxidants that can contribute to heart health.
