Pro Tips

📜 The Legend

Ernest Hemingway was diabetic and preferred his drinks without sugar. At El Floridita in Havana, bartender Constantino Ribalaigua created this version specifically for "Papa."

⚖️ To Sweeten or Not

The original "Papa Doble" had no sugar – just double the rum. Modern versions often add a touch of simple syrup to balance the tartness. Find your own preference.
