Hemingway Daiquiri

Ingredients

Method

Shake all the ingredients with ice, then strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with the lime wedge. Lemon and lime will have varying levels of acidity and sweetness (and you should taste to ensure they’re near what you usually get), but most that we get are relatively consistent. Grapefruits and oranges, however, can have varying levels of sweetness and acidity. When making cocktails that have a large proportion of grapefruit juice, like the Hemingway Daiquiri, this variability can be more noticeable. Taste the juice before using it, and if it’s particularly acidic, consider upping the simple syrup to ¼ ounce instead of 1 teaspoon. If, on the other hand, it’s particularly sweet, you may find the best balance by leaving out the simple syrup altogether.
