We saw the film, The Buena Vista Social Club Farewell Tour, one afternoon several years ago. The film was shot mostly in Cuba and rum was the featured beverage. Following the movie, we felt in mood for a cocktail made with rum and dropped into the Copper Onion next door to the Broadway Theatre. On that day, we could sit at the bar and order a drink (Utah liquor laws are always changing...) We told the bartender about the movie we had just seen and asked him for a recommendation of a cocktail made with rum. He suggested the Hemingway Daiquiri, which we order and we loved it. And it has since become one of our favorite cocktails.
Recipe for one Hemingway daiquiri:
1 1/2 oz. light rum
3/4 oz. pink grapefruit juice
1/2 oz. fresh lime juice (I simplify with half a lime)
1/4 oz. cherry liquor
1/4 oz. simple syrup
Add all ingredients to ice in a cocktail shaker and shake it up. Pour through a strainer into coup glasses.
