Not only is it Freedom Day for us today, it's also National Daiquiri Day! Talk about good timing.

We all love a sweet and refreshing strawberry daiquiri in the sun (we definitely need it in this heat), but there are so many different daiquiris out there. Reach out and try them all! Or at least the ones shown here...
Here are 5 venues to enjoy a delicious daiquiri in Birmingham.

Head down the canalside by Mailbox and step into a world of wonder inside Aluna. This waterfront location in the perfect setting for its expert team of mixologists and chefs to provide a truly magical experience like no other.
They offer a range of flavours in the daiquiri department, along with a theatre of flaming mixology and theatrical bartending. Peruse their "Midnight Madness" cocktails, and you'll find the Marshmallow Daiquiri: Belka Vodka, Butterscotch, Licor 43 and Apple Juice, topped with toasted marshmallow foam. Perfect for any sweet tooth.

You can never go wrong with delicious food and cocktails at Slug & Lettuce. Not only do they offer the classic strawberry daiquiri, they have a refreshing passionfruit flavour too. Mix with Havana Club 3-year-old rum and lime juice, and the daiquiri party has started.
With venues circulating Birmingham and Solihull, you'll never be too far away for a cheeky cocktail night.

Another delightfully alluring venue with creative cocktails is The Alchemist. They thrive in the dazzling dark arts of mixology and add a devilish dash of theatre to each of their creations.
