Hemmingway Daiquiri

Hemingway Daiquiri

These proportions may not be exactly as per the original Hemingway Daiquiri, but I have come across many ‘original’ Hemingway Daiquiri recipe suggestions, and not knowing for certain which the true original is, I chose the one where the least fruit would be wasted.  (This keeps my wife happy.)

2 oz   White Rum
1/4 oz  Maraschino Liqueur
Juice from 1 fresh Limes
Juice From 1/2 Grapefruit

Shake with ice and strain into a chilled large highball glass.

Now for those who do not know, Earnest Hemingway was reputed to be a diabetic, and hence there is no sugar in the recipe.  If you find this a tad tart, add sugar syrup to taste.
