A Hemingway special is an all day cocktail based on the Floridita daiquiri. It is recognised as an IBA official cocktail by the IBA. The Hemingway Special is made with rum, lime juice, maraschino liqueur, and grapefruit juice, and served in a cocktail glass.

History

Ernest Hemingway, who stayed in Cuba, tried the Floridita's signature drink, the Floridita daiquiri, and said "That's good, but I prefer it without sugar and double rum." This became a cocktail now known as the Hemingway daiquiri or the Papa Doble. His recipe was later modified further, adding grapefruit juice to the mix, at which point the drink was dubbed the "Hemingway special".
