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 the 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.
Hemingway Daiquiri ingredients:
- 90 mls (3 oz) White Rum
