I’m going old school for the Oscars tonight and making Hemingway Daiquiris. I thought of these because the grapefruit are ready on my tree and I’m tired of wine for every occasion. This refreshing cocktail reportedly got its name because it was Ernest Hemingway’s drink of choice at La Floridita, a famous Havana bar.
It’s been years since I’ve had a classic daiquiri (lime juice, sugar, and white rum), and a Hemingway adds grapefruit juice and maraschino liquor instead of sugar. This great little cocktail will give you a little pick up.
- 6 ounces freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
- 1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
- 3 ounces white rum
- 1 ounce maraschino liquor (I have left this out and added Stevia or sugar to sweeten and it’s still fabulous)
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice, shake until combined, strain into your favorite cocktail glass. Garnish with either grapefruit or lime slice.
