Cocktail Of The Day- The Hemingway Daiquiri

Cocktail Of The Day- because it’s always cocktail hour somewhere in the world. I continue to will spring into existence through cocktails, this week with The Hemingway Daiquiri. Named for the notorious author, Hemingway was rumoured to have knocked back a dozen of these in a night at Havana’s El Floridita. I don’t know about 12 but I’ll certainly take one please……or 3.
