Cocktail of the Week: Hemingway Daiquiri

Hemingway daiquiri

Ingredients

2 oz Atlantico Platino rum

1 oz lime juice

1/2 oz Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur

1/2 oz grapefruit juice

Grapefruit slice for garnish

Lime slice for garnish

Maraschino cherry for garnish

Method

Combine all of the ingredients in a cocktail shaker and fill with ice. Cover and shake thoroughly. Strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with a grapefruit slice, a lime slice, and a maraschino cherry on a skewer.

°°°

This cocktail is not a classic daiquiri; it’s more like a mythical cult classic. Rumored to be Ernest Hemingway’s drink of choice during the Key West years, the drink is expectedly heavy on booze, light on sugar and strong enough to impress.
