The “Good Neighbour Policy” at the BilberryThis refers to the time when Daiquiris became incredibly popular in the 1940’s in the USA. Wartime rationing made whiskey, vodka, etc, hard to come by, yet because of Roosevelt’s Good Neighbour Policy (which opened up trade and travel relations with Latin America, Cuba and the Caribbean), rum was easily obtainable. The Good Neighbour policy (also known as “The Pan-American program”), helped make Latin America seem fashionable. As a consequence, rum-based drinks (once frowned upon as being the domain of sailors and down-and-outs), also became fashionable, and the Daiquiri saw a tremendous rise in popularity in the US. The Bilberry bar pays homage to the increasing popular Daiquiri with a few of our favourites made with El Dorado 3yr and 5yr.
