Awakenings: Beverage of the Day: Daiquiri

Awakenings: Beverage of the Day: Daiquiri | Human Interest | Scoop.it

"When you hear the word daiquiri, the first thought is probably the cocktail. In fact, July 19 is...

National Daiquiri Day 

...the day to celebrate the cocktail. The daiquiri is rum-based invented by an American mining engineer named Jennings Cox. One legend has it that Cox created the first daiquiri in 1898 in the village of Daiquiri, Cuba (about 4 miles east of Santiago de Cuba) after he ran out of gin while entertaining American guests at a small bar. Of course, this is not the only story..."

Awakenings: Perfect is 'Parfait'

Awakenings: Perfect is 'Parfait' | Human Interest | Scoop.it
Grab a glass or perhaps even a Mason jar. This glass is not to be filled with a beverage but a foodie considered the perfect way to end the day. If all ingredients are not on hand, it's not too late for a quick grocery store run. After all, this is a prime example why some stores are called 'convenient'! You will need granola, nuts, yogurt or pudding, fresh fruits, and whipped cream. If you are not into granola, bits of cookies could be added for extra crunch. There is even a way to watch those calories. Cottage cheese can be substituted for the whipped cream or even your favorite flavored Jello. Whatever you choose, get ready to just layer it!

June 25 is...
National Strawberry Parfait Day
