A Daiquiri Hemmingway Special

Nguyên liệu

It’s been almost two years since I’ve done this cocktail, so it deserved a revisit. As you can tell by the name, it’s dedicated to the man Ernest Hemingway. He used to be a regular at the infamous El Floridita bar in Havana, Cuba.

He was a fan of their famous daiquiris, but asked the bartender for less sugar and double the rum. The bartender, Constantino Ribalaigua, created this variation which became known as Papa Doble, meaning “Papa’s Double.”

Overtime, the drink evolved to include grapefruit juice and maraschino liqueur for balance, becoming known as the Hemingway Special or Hemingway Daiquiri.
