Y'all, this might be my favorite rum drink yet! Well balanced, so tasty, and with a GREAT story! This week's Siglocktail is the El Floridita daiquiri! Made with just a few very precisely measured ingredients. Plus, there's a literary variation on this yummy drink: Ernest Hemingway enjoyed this drink many-a-time at the El Floridita in Havana, Cuba. But, being Hemingway, he made a few modifications, including adding a couple glugs more rum to the glass. Recipe below for both versions of this lovely cocktail! If you have a bit more time, watch the video to see how to make this delish drink and it's Hemingway glow up! As ever, livestream is tomorrow night and Thursday night at 6pm PST and we'll be toasting with these yummy cocktails. Feel free to make this one (send us pics
here if you do!) but as ever, you drink whatever you like best, or nothing at all, no worries!
