Hemingway Hammer

Ingredients

  • 30 ml Vodka
  • 30 ml White rum
  • 22.5 ml Grapefruit juice
  • 15 ml Lime juice
  • 15 ml Maraschino liqueur e.g. Luxardo
  • Garnish Grapefruit twist

Preparation

  1. Shake all ingredients with ice.
  2. Strain into a chilled coupe glass. Don't know how? Pour the drink through a strainer (or the built-in strainer on your shaker) to catch the ice and any solids.
  3. Garnish with grapefruit twist. Use a peeler or knife to cut a wide strip, avoiding the white pith. Twist it over the drink to release the oils, then drop it in.

Origin Story

The Hemingway Hammer is a modern cocktail inspired by the famous writer's love for rum and citrus, emerging in craft cocktail bars in the early 21st century. It reflects the revival of classic cocktail culture with a contemporary twist.
