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...

Hey Difford’s Guys, nothing to do with this mix (one of my favorites’ though): love the new layout of your website. Quite trendy and very professional, as always. Keep going.

Many thanks for your kind words. We've still a little polishing still to do then we'll be adding some more new features still under development. Like the recipes, it's a constant work in progress.

Cuban Rum, no sugar. Fab.

Absolutely a fantastic cocktail- skip the sugar altogether and stick with simple Bacardi silver—- Then try to drink 15 of these in one setting like Hemingway…. God Bless America and don’t forget British Gin (Scotland makes the best!)

Great drink, as I was almost out of sugar syrup I used half sugar syrup, half orgeat which gave it a nice additional hint of almond which worked perfectly in this drink!

Outstanding. Large and boozy. Strong flavour of rum. Based on comments, we used 1/2 sugar syrup as we like our cocktails a bit sour. Used Jamaican gold rum as I like Jamaican rum taste. Perfect.

Very enjoyable. Needs lots of ice I the shaking because of the volume. Perhaps a little bit sweet- esp if using proper cherries in the syrup. Next time I will use less sugar syrup and a touch more grapefruit. But good stuff overall.

Been making this cocktail/recipe for years and it is wonderful any season, sipping one now 12.24.2020, don't forget the Luxardo gourmet-marachino cherries. The Commodore's House in NOLA serves a Papa Dople that is excellent, ordered mine in the kitchen bar, try it there.

Agreed re Luxardoi cherries. I've changed the recipe above to reflect this and will re-shoot the photograph to illustrate cherry garnish.

I simplify it to 3/4 each grapefruit, lime, maraschino, and use Brugal extra dry rum. It’s a true classic.
