Raul: Ernest Hemingway loved Cuba and the great fishing opportunities along its coasts.
Glenn: Hemingway was convinced he was diabetic, so he invented a daiquiri without sugar, but with double the rum!
Raul: It is doubtful that he would have used grapefruit juice instead of lime juice in his favorite drink. I think that was a later modification!
Jorge: In any case, the drink became famous under various names, including as well “Hemingway Special” and “Papa Hemingway.” If you come into Floridita today and order that drink, you have to ask for a “Papa Doble.”
Glenn: Hemingway used to bring a thermos to the Floridita so he could enjoy these delicate drinks at home as well.
Raul: He called it a “trago del camino” (Literally drink for the path/road.)
Glenn: And thus created the famous phrase: “one for the road. ”
* Preparation:
Mix all ingredients in hand mixer and bring to table well chilled.
