What Is A Papa Doble Cocktail?
Papa Doble is a classic cocktail created in the 1930s at El Floridita bar in Havana, Cuba.
“Papa” was Hemingway’s nickname in Cuba, and “Doble” refers to his request for a double shot of rum. A frozen blended version was also created for Hemingway, using shaved ice — sometimes served in a large goblet.
The refreshing drink is shaken with ice and strained into a coupe glass. Ingredients include white rum, maraschino liqueur, grapefruit & lime juice, and simple syrup. We recommend garnishing with a lime wheel and maraschino cherry on your favourite cocktail pick.
The Papa Doble sipping experience is crisp, tart, citrusy, with subtle cherry-almond notes from maraschino. It’s less sweet than a traditional Daiquiri, more focused on citrus and spirit.
