Hemingway Daiquiri

Description

The Hemingway Daiquiri is brighter and drier than a standard Daiquiri. Rum provides the clean backbone, grapefruit adds a firm bittersweet edge, maraschino gives a measured almond-cherry note, and fresh lime keeps the finish sharp.

It is also known as the Hemingway Special. Shake it hard, serve it very cold and avoid adding extra sugar: the point of the drink is its lean, brisk character.
