Hemingway Special

sour boozy citrus

Ingredients:

Created at El Floridita in Havana for Ernest Hemingway, who disliked sweetness in his Daiquiris. He reportedly drank 16–20 of these in one sitting.

Ingredients

white rum 2 oz
grapefruit juice 0.75 oz
lime juice 0.5 oz
maraschino liqueur 0.5 oz

Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice until well chilled. Double-strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a lime wheel (no sugar added – Hemingway preferred it dry).
