Classification: Unrated

I removed much of the content of this page, as it violates WP:NOT (see the section on "Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information", point 8). However, the content is contained within the wikibooks article which I have linked to. --Xyzzyplugh 03:24, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The 'Cuban Spelling'

"Daiquiri, or Daiquiri (which is the Cuban spelling of the word)"

What gives? Both spellings are the same.

Actually, the cuban spelling has a different 'i'. Daiquirí. It's hard to spot I know. 203.166.250.47 12:17, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

"Cuban" is misleading here. It's a Spanish word, and that's the Spanish spelling of it. In other words, it's the original and correct spelling of it. It's not some Cuban dialectalism. — Chameleon 02:31, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] cultural perceptions

If the drink was invented by mining engineers, how did it come to have such "girly" perceptions in popular culture? E.g. the strawberry daiquiri. 12.219.84.232 04:20, 17 June 2007 (UTC) My grandmother told me the same story of origin but said her father, Edgar Conway Felton, was also one of the inventors (in Cuba). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.157.140.8 (talk) 00:24, 23 September 2007 (UTC) cuban food is awesome and so is tyler.

[edit] Bacardi refs

We could use some better refs. I would not consider Bacardi's web site to be authoritative, but it's hard to tell since these are Flash sites, not normal web sites, and not viewable with an ordinary web browser. Rees11 (talk) 01:15, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
