Daily Holidays - July 19

National Daiquiri Day Need a way to cool off? Why not celebrate Daiquiri Day. This refreshing drink was invented in the early 1900’s in a small mining town of Daiquiri near Santiago, Cuba, an engineer named Jennings Stockton Cox created a simple drink called a Daiquiri. Cox came up with this concoction in an effort to cool down during the summer month, with a simple blend of lime juice, sugar and local Bacardi rum, over cracked ice. This he found to be the best way to boost the morale of mine workers during the hot months. Such was the success of Cox’s drink not only did he received a generous stipend from the company, he also received a monthly gallon of Bacardi to continue supplying the refreshing drink. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/daiquiri-day/

Raspberry Cake Day With summer in full swing, it’s hard to imagine anything more seasonal and enjoyable than fresh, juicy raspberries; that is, except for Raspberry Cake Day – a whole day dedicated to enjoying raspberries in cake format! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/raspberry-cake-day/

1. Only one gallon of Bacardi?

In the days when I made more cocktails that would last me a month for my closest friends and myself, but I doubt that I would be making drinks for my co-workers.

2. I guess

one has to start somewhere and perhaps there was more than the company's contribution towards a happy workforce involved.

3. We have drive-thru Daiquiri shops here.

I see taxis lined up around the shops all the time.
