Story

Hemingway reportedly asked El Floridita for a Daiquiri with no sugar and double the rum, and the 'Papa Doble' was born; grapefruit and maraschino were added to round it out. He is said to have drunk them by the dozen, which the bar commemorates with a bronze statue at his end of the counter.
