Only 10 minutes from U.S. Embassy, a short walk for CJ and Owen, to have Ernest's favorite drink in Cuba, a daiquiri with Havana Club Rum, Grapefruit juice and a maraschino cherry (no umbrella!).

 Salud!

OMG! Where did you get that recipe? That's not a daiquiri. It might be tasty, but it's definitely not what's been served at El Floridita for almost 100 years.

White rum, lime (never, ever, ever, lemon) juice, and sugar. All three ingredients easily available in Cuba. No lemons because they weren't grown on the island.

The Floridita served it as a frozen concoction and that was what Papa drank. But there's a cocktail card from the late 1800's, signed by an American engineer, suggesting it had been around for decades before. I spent a good chunk of the morning reading about the cocktail and the place. It'll probably wind up as one or two lines. LOL

And maybe cruise around town in a vintage Chevy wagon.

That car in the picture made me think of Dragon. I bet if CJ can talk the Cuban and US government into letting him buy one, Dragon would leave Hawaii for a while to help Harley restore it.

By the way, the other part of the morning I spent with orangutans and flamingos at the National Zoo in DC. LOL

I played hooky yesterday, I have some serious color on my face and body, and have spent today with CJ, Owen, and Liebe.

As a former bartender (college years ago) it is not how I make daiquiri either, like yours! BUT It's actual recipe from their current drinks menu on their website.

Shoot me now. I'm a traditionalist.

However, as with frozen margaritas, I've made strawberry and mango versions.

And while we use white sugar (or simple syrup) these days, the original called for brown sugar.

A bit strange not to be posting a story chapter this Friday.

However, something new (non-CJ) is coming next week.

Meet the inspiration for Lt. Banner Hoyt, Inked's MC.

Does he have a fit older brother?

Not all of them but I'll take Marc in this one, James in Capitol Hill, and Camilo in Luz de Castilla. ;)
