Variation #1 (original and Hemingway's preferred, stronger, dry and sour)
- 3 oz blanco rum
- 1/2 oz maraschino liqueur
- 1 1/2 oz fresh grapefruit juice
- 3/4 oz fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup ice
Variation #2 (my preferred, less strong and slightly sweeter)
- Same as above, but reduce rum from 3 to 2 oz
Variation #3 (sweeter version)
- Same as variation #2 plus 1 teaspoon white sugar
For the garnish
- One lemon wedge or a couple of lemon slices
Pull out you lemon squeezer, or a citrus juicer, and squeeze some fresh lime and grapefruit juice. You will need about 1/2 a lime and 1/4 of a grapefruit for one drink.
Combine all of the ingredients but the garnish in a blender with ½ cup ice. Blend until smooth. Pour into a chilled cocktail glass. Squeeze the lime wedge over the drink, and drop it in. Alternatively, fit a couple of lemon slices on the edge of the glass. This makes it for a better presentation in my opinion.
