History
The Grapefruit Daiquiri traces to El Floridita, the Havana bar where head bartender Constantino "Constante" Ribalaigua Vert numbered his Daiquiri variations, including one cut with grapefruit juice and a touch of maraschino liqueur, known as the Papa Doble or Hemingway Special. This alcohol-free take keeps the grapefruit and lime but drops the rum and maraschino, leaving fresh pink grapefruit, lime, and sugar syrup.
FAQ
How do you make a Grapefruit Daiquiri N/A?
Shake 60 ml fresh pink grapefruit juice, 30 ml lime juice, 15 ml sugar syrup and, if you like, two dashes of Angostura with ice. Fine-strain into a chilled old-fashioned glass and garnish with a lime wedge.
Can you use lemon juice instead of lime juice in a daiquiri?
Yes. Lemon brings similar acidity with a softer edge. Here the lime is what cuts the grapefruit's bitterness, so with lemon the drink comes out softer and less tart.
