  • On this episode of How to Drink, I’m partnering again with Luxardo and Anchor Distilling to bring you the Hemingway Daiquiri! This version is a classic alternative to the standard Daiquiri and my personal favorite way to prepare one, and the story goes that Ernest Hemingway had diabetes and he developed this recipe to be a less sweet version of his favorite drink. If you’re like me and love Hemingway then you should give this cocktail a try! Cheers!
    That's not strictly true it turns out. The truth is that this drink was already on the menu at the Floridita bar in Havana Cuba where Hemingway was a regular where it was called Daiquiri #3. Hemingway was such a fan of the drink that it was eventually named after himself and a legend was born. Actually, it's also likely that it wasn't such an organic naming evolution, but rather that 'ol Papa Hemingway himself invented the whole diabetes story and named the drink after himself intentionally, he was of course a writer and renowned self promoter. I've read that the drink was also sometimes called a "Papa Doble" or "Papa Double" as he was known to order them "with twice as much rum and no sugar", which sounds likely. The daiquiri is of course a famous Cuban drink and there's no reason you shouldn't use Cuban rum here, in fact the original recipe calls for it. For me though, the Hemingway Daiquiri is particularly well suited to showing off a Rhum Agricole and that's my preferred configuration for this drink. If you prefer it with a Cuban, or a Peurto Rican, or really any rum at all feel free to make it that way, you really can't go wrong!
    Hemingway Daiquiri Ingredients:
    - .25 oz or 7 ml Luxardo Maraschino
    - .25 oz or 7 ml Grapefruit Juice
    - .75 oz or 21 ml Lime Juice
    - 2 oz or 60 ml White Rhum Agricole
    - Shake over Cracked Ice
    - Pour in a Coupe
    - Garnish with a Lime Wheel

    I will never forget the first time I read the end to a “farewell to arms”... there was at least five minutes of stunned, depressed silence. You couldn’t write that ending today and get it published.

    Every week I feel like I have to say how awesome your videos are. Honestly, your episodes are so much better made and well done than anyone else's. You have great history, expand on the flavors (which is super helpful!), and make it fun to watch. Most people try way too hard to make stuff funny and it just feels fake, but this is so genuine, I actually laughed so hard at the mysterious hand! I think you might be my spirit animal. Awesome job as usual.

    Awesome, I've been waiting for this for a while. This is definitely my favourite daiquiri as well. Down here limes get so expensive in the summer so using a little grapefruit is an excellent way to cut down on the cost of the drink. I'm heading away for the night so I'll be sure to pack my Maraschino.
    BTW: You should try it on the rocks on a hot day.

    Not sure how I missed this one, but it just floated to my recommended list so here we are! Boy I love the photography in your vids, just very well done sir! Hemingway daiquiri, my favorite as well. Also a great test of a bar, you either get instant cred with the bartender or you get a “huh?” I once ordered a Hemingway Daiquiri at a bar named Hemingway’s (I kid you not) and was brought a large glass of ice with something red in it. So then I tried asking for a plain lime daiquiri, and she came back and said according to the bartender they had no lime mix, would it be ok if they just used lime juice. I asked for a beer.

    • @howtodrink

      Thank you! I've seen it done both ways, with simple and without and I think both are totally valid. I'd balance it on the rum and let that dictate how much sweetness it needs. If accounts are true though, Hemingway would have flipped if you put sugar in his!

    Hey. couple of quick tips:
    Try shaking with just one large ice cube (don't crack it) and a couple of smaller once like you would get out of a tray. Dave Arnold goes over the reasons for his in Liquid Intelligence but it comes down to the big ice working the smaller ice around as you shake. Cracked ice gives you a colder cocktail faster, but it doesn't allow you to control dilution as much.
    Also, you should try to add some more verticals to your shake. When I'm at work I usually do a two point shake. Moving the shake from closer to my body to slightly above my shoulders axis, bring the shaker back towards my body again, and then shaking again slightly below my shoulder height. This method incorporates a LOT more air. So much that my shaken cocktails fizz almost like they are carbonated when I pour them.

    Hemingway is a depressing author and his family is depressing as well. Just the other day I was reading about how his dad, his sister, his brother, and himself all died by suicide. It’s sad how mental illness/dysfunction can run in families. This video has inspired me to finally buy some maraschino liqueur, so that’s a plus! 😀

    Hey! Just a little historical/cultural pointer on Rhum Agricole (or "Agrikol" in creole). The difference between Agricole rhum and normal rhum is similar to what separates a London Dry gin to an Aromatic gin : the Agricole rhum has no spices nor aromates, it is 'pure rhum'. Whereas normal rhum, it has spices and aromates that makes the taste more complex. It was developed in islands such as Haïti and Martinique a long time ago.
    Great video
    Cheers!

      Ummm... Agricole rum is made from sugar cane juice.
      Regular rum is made from molasses. Aromatics are not added.

    regarding cracking ice: Get yourself a Lewis bag and a mallet to be legit. I just use a linen bar towel and meat tenderizer mallet.

    I like your videos, your close-ups, excellent camera work. But the recipe that Leandro from The Educated Barfly shows, suits muy taste better. The ratios use more grapefruit juice and Luxardo Marraschino so it's less dry/numb, more flavorful.

      Add up to 1/2 ounce of simple syrup and it will become much more drinkable.

      Thank you! Yeah, there's a small team making this, I'm working on some behind the scenes stuff.

    So i have a Angostura 1919, would that work in this drink instead of the clear rum ?

    • @howtodrink
      @howtodrink  6 років тому +1

      It’ll be a different drink but should be still good

  • @morganchilds9054

    Hold the ice cube in your hand and find the flattest side, then don't be shy... crack the very centre of it good and hard with your bar spoon, it should shatter, but you will be holding all the ice in your hand.

    I have some havana club left over from the zombie a couple weeks ago. Would that subsitute well in this one Greg?
    p.s you the man, keep it up!

    • @howtodrink
      @howtodrink  7 років тому

      Oh yeah, Havana Club is perfect here, in the video description I think I say as much anyway, that the Rhum Agricole is sort of my take on it, but far from typical.

    How cold do you need to chill your glass for it to acquire a glow like that?

    • @howtodrink
      @howtodrink  6 років тому

      Not Enuff Limes ahem, well... in this case the glass was chilled in a wash of liquid nitrogen so VERY cold. But it’s also sitting on a glass insert in the bar with I think 2000 watts of light shooting up through its bottom, which helps a lot.
      If you check out the Halekulani the liquid nitrogen chill combined with the humidity in the air caused the glass to kind of rain “snow” down off its sides.

    Asked for one of these when out the other night; in fact I showed them this exact recipe. Liked it, but the combination of grapefruit juice and lime juice together I found to be just too savage on my throat. One is fine but definitely couldn't drink them all night. Unfortunate because I felt pretty cool when drinking it!

    Just had a zoom cocktail night - was looking for video tutorials on mixing drinks. These little videos seem to be the best that pop up on a search for these recipes! You don't drone on and on about a drink until we're bored, just a little commentary, keep it moving, highlight the important parts. Also you don't awkwardly angle the camera at your crotch. That is apparently a weird drink making video trend - thanks, but no thanks. Helping me through quarantine! Drinking your Aviation now - may make this daiquiri for my mom for Mother's Day (the Hemingway is one of her favorite drinks).
