  • 15 ml Maraschino liqueur e.g. Luxardo
  • Garnish Lime wheel

Origin Story

The Hemingway Daiquiri was inspired by the famous author Ernest Hemingway, who frequented La Floridita bar in Havana, Cuba, during the 1930s. This variation of the classic daiquiri reflects his preference for a less sweet drink.
