Hemingway Daiquiri

Originally created for Ernest Hemingway at the El Floridita Bar in Havana, this variation on the classic Daiquiri was inspired by the writers aversion to sugar and taste for spirits. Contemporary versions see Maraschino and a touch of sugar to balance the drink. We add a dash of Jamaican No.2 Bitters to accentuate the grapefruit as well as adding a layer of tropical aromatics.
