Papa Doble

The Washington Post, August 18, 2010

Spirits

Course: Beverage

Summary:

This is the daiquiri variation that Ernest Hemingway famously enjoyed at El Floridita bar in Havana. Although Hemingway probably drank Bacardi, and Spirits columnist Jason Wilson suggests a few specific rums below, this cocktail works with any number of premium white or lightly aged rums.

Remember, maraschino liqueur is not the juice of maraschino cherries.

1 serving

Ingredients:

Ice
2 ounces rum, such as Rhum Barbancourt, white rhum agricole or Banks 5
1/2 ounce freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 ounce maraschino liqueur, such as Luxardo

Directions:

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add the rum, juices and maraschino liqueur. Shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds, then strain into a chilled cocktail (martini) glass.
