Think daiquiris are too sweet? Ernest Hemingway felt the same way. The legendary writer transformed this classic cocktail into something stronger, sharper, and infinitely more sophisticated. Today we dive into the Hemingway Daiquiri—a drink as bold and uncompromising as the man who inspired it. We'll explore how Papa's particular tastes created a cocktail that's equal parts refreshing and punishing, and discover why this literary legend's drinking habits became as famous as his prose.
