Also called a Papa Doble, this cocktail is credited to being invented by Ernest Hemingway (along with several other drinks) when he was not satisfied with the Daiquiri #3 at the La Florida bar in Havana, Cuba. Ernest Hemingway was a heavy drinker who also happened to be diabetic. Therefore, all the Hemingway-inspired cocktails are heavy on the liquor and very light on sweetness. True to form, Daiquiri #3 was too sweet and not boozy enough for him, so he requested if the bartender could make it less sweet and with more rum. Thus the Hemingway was invented.
