Excerpt
Hemingway Special
Ernest Hemingway, who suffered from a rare form of diabetes, asked the chief
barman of the Floridita, Constantino Ribalaigua Vert, to make him a daiquiri
with two shots of rum and no sugar. This version was called a “papa doble,”
“Papa” being the nickname that the Cubans had given Hemingway. Years later,
another Floridita barman, Antonio Meilán, added some maraschino liqueur
and grapefruit juice to Constantino’s recipe, and the papa doble became the
Hemingway special.
✯ 2 oz (60 ml) cuban rum
✯ ½ oz (15 ml) maraschino liqueur
✯ ½ oz (15 ml) lime juice
✯ ½ oz (15 ml) grapefruit juice
✯ 2 tsp (10 ml) sugar syrup,
Pour all the ingredients into a shaker, add ice, and shake vigorously.
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Garnish: squeeze a strip of grapefruit zest over the glass, and drop it in.
