Review:
This unusual Daiquiri leads with sweet maraschino and finishes with sour grapefruit. I've tried with a more flavoursome 'gold' rum, but this is a cocktail that shines with a light white rum.
Variant:
With gin in place of rum, this becomes Seventh Heaven No. 2.
History:
Named for Constantino Ribalaigua, who introduced Hemingway to the Daiquiri at El Floridita, Havana, Cuba.
