Review:

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

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.
