July seems to be the month of national cocktail days, but hey… we’re not complaining. National Daiquiri Day is on July 19th, and we couldn’t be more pumped! There is something about this cocktail that brings people together. Maybe this has to do with the fact that researchers have found that daiquiris trigger the production of dopamine in the brain, leading to nothing but good times.
