This is a truly legendary cocktail, with a very fascinating backstory. I will not repeat it all, but if you want to learn more see the links of the source material.
Hemingway Daiquiri is a spectacular cocktail for the summer. Rum enriched by the sweet cherry nuttiness of maraschino liqueur is balanced by lime and bitter sour notes of grapefruit. A great well-balanced drink that is not hard to make. Most versions recommend lime wheel for garnish, but I love to express oils of a twist of grapefruit, to reinforce the fresh citrusy notes.
It is impossible to have only one Hemingway Daiquiri, you will definitely come back for seconds.
