History

Adapted from the Argentinean Bacardí Legacy 2013 winning cocktail created by Lucas Lopez at Isabel Bar in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Originally made with Bacardi Carta Blanca rum.

The inspiration for this creation came to me the night before registration for the competition closed, whilst reading a biography of Ernest Hemingway. In the book, I learnt that Hemingway loved to end his night by sharing a grapefruit-based drink with his friends. Then I thought of this fresh and appealing drink.

Lucas Lopez, 2013

Review

Imagine a Daiquriri with rosso vermouth, pink grapefruit juice, and fluffed with egg white.

That combo and ratio of grapefruit, rosso, and cinnamon is something special. Very flavorful, lightly luscious drink.

There's no way this cocktail can possibly fit in any standard size coupe glass - assuming these are the correct ratios. It's a total of 5 1/3 oz volume BEFORE dilution, and then you have to factor in your egg white foam as well. I used an over-sized (11 oz) cocktail glass and it was basically full to the brim.

Agreed. Not a cocktail I've yet made (one of a number of Legacy cocktails I need to tackle), hence the lack of review and Difford's rating, but I'll reformulate, add a review, rating and our own photo ASAP. Thanks for bringing to my attention, Landon.
