FAQ's
What is the history behind the Papa Doble cocktail?
The Papa Doble, also known as the Hemingway Daiquiri, was created in the 1930s for Ernest Hemingway at the El Floridita bar in Havana, Cuba. Hemingway loved the original Daiquiri made there but preferred it without sugar and with double the rum, which led to the creation of this stronger, less sweet variation.
Can I substitute a different type of rum if I don't have white rum for the Papa Doble?
Yes, although white rum is traditional for its crisp, clean taste, you can substitute it with a light golden rum for a slightly deeper flavor profile. Avoid dark or spiced rums as they can significantly alter the taste of the cocktail.
What are some garnishing tips for a Papa Doble?
A thin slice of grapefruit or a lime wheel makes an elegant garnish for a Papa Doble. Alternatively, a maraschino cherry can add a touch of classic cocktail charm and a hint of sweetness.
What is the best way to serve a Papa Doble?
The Papa Doble is best served in a chilled cocktail glass. To fully enjoy its flavors, it should be served cold but not diluted, so consider chilling the glass in advance and mixing the ingredients with ice before straining.
How does the alcohol content of the Papa Doble compare to that of a standard cocktail?
The Papa Doble has an alcohol content of 22.39%, which is slightly higher than many standard cocktails, which typically range from 15% to 20% alcohol by volume. Its higher content is due to the larger proportion of rum, making it a stronger drink.
