Raise a glass to Ron Santiago de Cuba Daiquiri Week

Few cocktails say ‘summer has arrived’ better than an ice-cold daiquiri. Believed to have originated in Santiago de Cuba on the island’s south-east coast, this classic Cuban cocktail is enjoying a well-deserved resurgence – and now has its own moment in the annual cocktail calendar.

Fittingly, Ron Santiago de Cuba is leading the celebrations for International Daiquiri Day (19 July) with a week-long series of events, collaborations and special serves across the UK.

As one of the world’s best-selling rum cocktails – and arguably among the finest classics in modern history – the daiquiri is at the heart of rum’s renaissance. Premium and super-premium rums like Ron Santiago de Cuba are driving that growth, with the category expected to outpace overall global rum sales in the coming years.

From 11-20 July, Ron Santiago de Cuba Daiquiri Week is coming to a bar near you with more than 99 venues showcasing Ron Santiago de Cuba daiquiris, with signature serves and Cuban-inspired events on offer.
