The Hemingway Daiquiri Cocktail Recipe

The Hemingway daiquiri cocktail recipe is known in some places as a Papa Doble. Papa of course was Hemingway's nickname.

My husband and I actually received inspiration from Blaine, the bartender extraordinaire, at the restaurant where my son works. "The Hemingway daiquiri", he said, "is quite different from what most bars today call a daiquiri": the sweet frozen fruity beverage served in a tall glass.

Another difference in today's rum cocktail

I am using Don Q spiced rum instead of the traditional rum. The various spices in this rum add an additional touch. This premium blend of rums is aged for three years in American oak barrels, and has delicious notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and caramel. Don Q spiced rum is also pleasant neat, or on the rocks. This is truly the best spiced rum I have ever tasted!

The coupe glasses

For this old-fashioned cocktail recipe (or shall we say yesteryear cocktail), my husband had to go out and get THE BEST looking limes he could find. He also made a new batch of simple syrup. Yes, he went through great lengths for this recipe.  And last but not least, he HAD to get the RIGHT glass, a coupe glass. So, on his lunch hour, he ran, well drove to the local restaurant supply shop across town to pick up the coupe glasses.

Whip one up, and picture yourself being caressed by tropical breezes, while palm fronds dance in the wind. In my opinion this is the perfect cocktail: Not two sweet, not too sour. It's just right! Papa's favorite.

If you're looking for an other beverage made with Don Q, why not try the Grapefruit Rosemary Mojito. It's delicious and made with Don Q Gran Añejo.
