A Hemingway Special is an all day cocktail based on the Floridita Daiquiri[1] and is recognised by the IBA.

Mixture

It is made with rum, lime juice, maraschino liqueur, and grapefruit juice and served in a double cocktail glass.[2][3]

History

While he was staying in Cuba, Ernest Hemingway tried the Floridita's signature drink, the Floridita Daiquiri, and said "That's good but I prefer it without sugar and double rum,"[1] creating a cocktail now known as the Hemingway Daiquiri or the Papa Doble.[4] This recipe was later modified further, adding grapefruit juice to the mix, at which point the drink was dubbed the Hemingway Special."[1]
