Hemingway Special Daiquiri (Papa Doble)
This drink is also known as a Papa Doble for good reason, it's twice the size of a regular cocktail. Hence the above recipe will fill one oversize Martini...

My grapefruit was definitely on the mild side, so omitted the sugar altogether and was happy with the balance. My palate i would say is sweet-leaning. Loved the Luxardo depth and roundness here. Split the rum between plantation 3 star and Havana 3. Delicious!

Remade to the exact recipe- with better grapefruit- excellent! Generous hunk of lime to garnish brought out the lime-rum sugar magic x.

Iets minder zoet volgende keer. Erg stevig

Great cocktail even made with cheap white rum as I have no Havana Club 3 or Plantation 3 at the moment. Probably needs less sugar if you're using pink or red grapefruit.

Made this again with Barbados rum. Outstanding also as rum is Barbados is not adulterated with sugar before bottling. Makes the cocktail a bit drier, but without the Jamaican funk that I added the first time. Both are great.

Since we were using smaller glasses. We added 4 drops of Bob's Difford's Daiquiri Bitters to the second part. This this cocktail to a next level. Adds some depth of flavour and complexity.

Just got my first ever bottle of Luxardo Maraschino and I could think of no better cocktail to crack it open for than this.
Strong and rummy with citrus and cherry. Perfect for sipping on a hot June evening.

An excellent cocktail! For those of you like me who may not have Hemingways EtOh tolerance, scaling this drink to 2/3 (works out nicely using ml and the Easy Jigger!) creates a smaller drink that doesn't require a large coupe glass. (Full disclosure: I used "rich" gomme syrup instead of "rich" simple syrup which for me created a nice mouth feel. I also used 2 drops 20% saline solution, but not sure I would do so again.

Good call on the ratios. What host wants to be legless before the prawns have even made it onto the BBQ?

What a delightful cocktail. Since I don't have "Cuban" rum, I used the home-made Black Tail bar "Cuban" rum blend recipe ( supposedly mimics Cuban Rum). It was absolutely wonderful. Nicely balanced and remarkably smooth.

I almost made this as a shaken cocktail until I reread the recipe and saw a blender was involved.

I make as a shaken cocktail and main recipe above is shaken. Blended version is El Floridita’s.
