History

Periodista (Spanish for 'journalist') originated in Havana, Cuba, where it is said to have been one of Ernest Hemingway's tipples at El Floridita. In keeping with the Cuban origin, the earliest known recipe appears in the 1948 El Arte de Cantinera, a bartenders' manual from the Club de Cantineros de la Republica de Cuba in Havana.

Review

An orange and apricot Daiquiri. Like most Daiquiris, the Periodista benefits from a little additional dilution, hence the chilled water in my recipe.

Good cocktail, but IMHO there are better Daiquiri variations, eg. Daiquiri elixir.

I prefer a dark rum for this cocktail to add a touch of depth. And a couple of drops of orange and/or lime bitters is a nice balancer.

Great daiquiri. Did find the apricot got a bit lost, but still had a good balance of flavours.
