In El Floridito bar, Havana bartender Constantino Ribailagua, concocted the Hemingway daiquiri co*cktail recipe in the 1920's. It is not a secret that the famous writer Ernest Hemingway spent a great deal of his free time enjoying libations in bars.
The Hemingway daiquiri co*cktail recipe is known in some places as a Papa Doble. Papa of course was Hemingway's nickname.
My husband and I actually received inspiration from Blaine, the bartender extraordinaire, at the restaurant where my son works. "The Hemingway daiquiri", he said, "is quite different from what most bars today call a daiquiri": the sweet frozen fruity beverage served in a tall glass.
Another difference in today's rum co*cktail
I am using Don Q spiced rum instead of the traditional rum. The various spices in this rum add an additional touch. This premium blend of rums is aged for three years in American oak barrels, and has delicious notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and caramel. Don Q spiced rum is also pleasant neat, or on the rocks. This is truly the best spiced rum I have ever tasted!
The coupe glasses
For this old-fashioned co*cktail recipe (or shall we say yesteryear co*cktail), my husband had to go out and get THE BEST looking limes he could find. He also made a new batch of simple syrup. Yes, he went through great lengths for this recipe. And last but not least, he HAD to get the RIGHT glass, a coupe glass. So, on his lunch hour, he ran, well drove to the local restaurant supply shop across town to pick up the coupe glasses.
Whip one up, and picture yourself being caressed by tropical breezes, while palm fronds dance in the wind. In my opinion this is the perfect co*cktail: Not two sweet, not too sour. It's just right! Papa's favorite.
If you're looking for an other beverage made with Don Q, why not try the Grapefruit Rosemary Mojito. It's delicious and made with Don Q Gran Añejo.

The Hemingway Daiquiri co*cktail Recipe
The Hemingway Daiquiri co*cktail recipe is a blend of Don Q spiced rum, and lime juice, grapefruit juice sweetened with maraschino liqueur. It's perfect for any occasion.
The Hemingway Daiquiri is a little tart and sweet, and (yes!) sophisticated. Named after ol' Ernest, it's made with white rum, lime and grapefruit juices, and maraschino liqueur.
The Hemingway daiquiri brings the subtly sweet, dry cherry taste of maraschino liqueur and tart grapefruit into the classic daiquiri mix of rum and lime. Hemingway took this daiquiri without sugar, but most people prefer the added sweetness. Feel free to make a Hemingway with or without the optional simple syrup.
There is a famous elixir that Hemingway himself really invented: the Death in the Afternoon. The simple mix of Champagne and absinthe was first published in 1935's "So Red the Nose," a collection of co*cktail recipes from noted writers including Edgar Rice Burroughs and Erskine Caldwell.
Constantino Ribalaigua Vert, who boasts the nickname “The co*cktail King of Cuba,” was the bartender at El Floridita and the first to mix some of the Daiquiri modifications we enjoy today.
Luxardo Maraschino Originale and Maraschino Cherries add subtly sweet hints of almond and vanilla, creating perfectly balanced drinkability that even “Papa” would likely appreciate.
It's balanced, certainly moreish, somehow dry, yet also sweet, refreshing and quenching all in the same moment – not bad for just three ingredients, two of which come from the same thing – sugar cane. This simplicity is also the Daiquiri's greatest virtue.
A classic daiquiri, made with 2 ounces of rum and served "up" without ice, typically has an alcohol content of 20-25% ABV (alcohol by volume), similar to most standard co*cktails. However, adding more rum or serving it "on the rocks" with ice can slightly lower the alcohol content.
What was the first ever co*cktail? Accounts differ, but most experts agree that the first co*cktail was the Sazerac, a blend of whisky, absinthe, bitters and sugar. Created in New Orleans in the mid-1800s, this is one of the first co*cktails recognisable by name and remains a favourite to this day.
The famed Sazerac Coffee House was founded in New Orleans in 1850 and soon became known as the home of “America's First co*cktail,” the Sazerac. Using rye whiskey (in place of French brandy), a dash of Peychaud's Bitters, and Herbsaint, what eventually became the official co*cktail of New Orleans was created.
Apéritifs (/əˈpɛrɪtiːf/; French: [apeʁitif]) and digestifs (/diːʒɛˈstiːf/) are drinks, typically alcoholic, that are normally served before (apéritif) or after (digestif) a meal respectively.
Rum and co*ke, or the Cuba libre (/ˌkjuːbə ˈliːbreɪ/ KEW-bə LEE-bray, Spanish: [ˈkuβa ˈliβɾe]; literally "Free Cuba"), is a highball co*cktail consisting of cola, rum, and in many recipes lime juice on ice.
From its humble beginnings as a toast to Cuba's independence, to its status as a classic co*cktail enjoyed around the world, the Cuba Libre has truly stood the test of time. With its simple yet delicious blend of rum and Coca Cola, this drink has become a beloved symbol of the Caribbean and its rich history.
Flavor Profile: The Classic offers a longer smoking experience with a rich and complex flavor profile. Smokers can enjoy notes of cedar, nuts, and a subtle sweetness, making it a perfect choice for a leisurely smoke.
In its purest form, the Daiquiri is a delicate balance of rum, fresh lime juice, and sugar. This trinity of ingredients form the basis of the sour category of drinks, which includes other iconic drinks like the Whiskey Sour, Margarita, Sidecar, Gimlet, and countless more.
