† Hemingway Special recipe at International Bartenders Association |
A Hemingway special is an all day cocktail based on the Floridita daiquiri [1] and is recognised by the IBA. It is made with rum, lime juice, maraschino liqueur, and grapefruit juice and served in a double cocktail glass. [2] [3]
Ernest Hemingway, who stayed in Cuba, tried the Floridita's signature drink, the Floridita daiquiri, and said "That's good but I prefer it without sugar and double rum," [1] which became a cocktail now known as the Hemingway daiquiri or the Papa Doble. [4] This recipe was later modified further, adding grapefruit juice to the mix, at which point the drink was dubbed the "Hemingway special". [1]
