Cocktails: Hemmingway Daiquiri

The Hemmingway Daiquiri got its name, allegedly, because this was Ernest Hemingway's drink of choice at a famous Havana bar, La Floridita. A classic daiquiri is lime juice, sugar, and white rum. The Hemmingway adds grapefruit juice and maraschino liquor instead of sugar. This great little cocktail will give you a little pick up

Ingredients:
6 ounces freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
3 ounces white rum
1 ounce maraschino liquor

Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice, shake until combined, strain into your favorite cocktail glass. Garnish with either grapefruit or lime slice.
