The Hemingway Daiquiri, also known as the Papa Doble, was invented in the 1930s at El Floridita bar in Havana, Cuba. Ernest Hemingway, notorious for his love of good drinks, requested a daiquiri with double the rum, no sugar, and the addition of grapefruit juice and maraschino liqueur. The result: a tart, sophisticated twist on the classic daiquiri. Hemingway’s legacy lives on not just in his writing, but in every glass of this iconic cocktail.
