The Rum Daisy cocktail was invented in 1953 by Lewis J. Rumsey, a bartender at the Crater Lake Lodge in Oregon, and it quickly became a popular drink across the United States. It is often served with lime wedges to add flavor and garnish alongside slices of orange or lemon peel.
This is a classic cocktail that has an aromatic gin base. It is a perfect drink for people who are just learning to appreciate gin, or for those who want something a little more interesting than the ubiquitous Gin & tonic.
