History
The Passion Fruit Daiquiri is a Daiquiri of rum, lime, and sugar with fresh passion fruit added for a tart, aromatic twist. It has no documented creator; it belongs to the broad family of modern fruited Daiquiris that bartenders began building once tropical fruit purees and juices became common bar ingredients. Jennings Cox is widely credited with the original Daiquiri, which he is said to have made near the Cuban town of Daiquiri around 1898.
