“My mojito in the Bodeguita del Medio and my daiquiri in the Floridita”

 

Floridita, a bar located in Havana, Cuba, is widely credited for inventing the classic frozen daiquiri, and was a favorite of Ernest Hemingway in the 1930s. Trading traditional syrup for grapefruit and cherry essence, the Hemingway Daiquiri was born. A life-size bronze statue of Hemingway adorns the end of the bar to this day.

Spirit Recommendations

Casa Magdalena Blanco - While not the model for sipping straight, Casa Magdalena is a light rum at a decent price point that’s good for mixing. It blends well with the citrus and sweetness of the Hemingway Daiquiri.
