Sugar or no Sugar , your drink will always taste better, Cocktail-Hemingway daiquiri.

 Sugar or no Sugar , your drink will always taste better, Cocktail-Hemingway daiquiri.

As the story goes, the legendary writer Hemingway, looking for a bathroom, popped into El Floridita. There, he saw the bartender mix a batch of frozen daiquiris. Never one to leave an unattended beverage to its own devices, Hemingway picked up the drink and tried it.

After a few tastes, he was said to have told the bartender, “That’s good, but I’d prefer it without the sugar…and double the rum.”

So, to create a “Hemingway daiquiri” for the public, El Floridita had to get a bit creative.

Hemingway daiquiri uses Maraschino liqueur rather than the traditional cane syrup. It’s a classic Italian liqueur distilled from Marasca cherries, which imparts a very subtle sweetness. A touch of ruby red grapefruit juice is also used to balance the drink. It adds a slight a touch of sweetness to counter the lime, but with a refreshing tartness.
