GRAPEFRUIT DAIQUIRI

Steps:

• Supreme 4 grapefruits (cut away the peels and pith, then cut the segments free from the membranes) and freeze the segments until solid, 8 hours or up to overnight.
• Juice the remaining 6 grapefruits using an electric citrus juicer. Keep pushing until the grapefruit pulp is out, creating a cup. Reserve the "cups" to serve in. (Freeze any extras for another use.)
• Combine the grapefruit juice, rum, lime juice and agave syrup in a large cocktail shaker filled with ice (see Cook's Note). Fit the reserved emptied grapefruit halves into large coupe glasses. Strain the cocktail into the grapefruit halves. Sprinkle in the grapefruit ice and garnish with mint leaves.

DAIQUIRI

Steps:

• Shake all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker and strain into a cocktail glass. 3 TWISTSStrawberry daiquiriThis cocktail should only be attempted with fruit that's really ripe and sweet - if the berries are the big, bland variety from the chiller cabinet, the end result will just taste of mush. Allow one large handful of hulled strawberries for each cocktail. Place them in the empty shaker and give them a gentle crush with a muddler or pestle, then add the other ingredients and shake as normal and strain into your cocktail glass. Out of season, you could also make a version of this drink using Funkin strawberry purée which will be almost as good. Hemingway's 'Papa Doble' daiquiriThe writer Ernest Hemingway drank at El Floridita in Havana so often they ended up creating a daiquiri recipe especially for him called the Papa Doble, made with a quadruple measure of white rum, lime, grapefruit juice and maraschino liqueur. I don't think many of us could handle a drink this size - as delicious as it is - so I've scaled it back a bit: 50ml white rum, 15ml pink grapefruit juice, 15ml lime juice, 15ml Luxardo maraschino liqueur, 5ml sugar syrup, shaken and strained into a cocktail glass or blended with ice, depending on what you prefer. La Terraza's blue daiquiriAnother place Hemingway liked to drink when he went fishing was a little waterside bar about 10 miles outside Havana called La Terraza. La Terraza's signature daiquiri is made with blue curaçao, so it's the colour of a lagoon. You can make one too, simply by substituting 15ml Bols Blue curaçao in a normal daiquiri in place of the sugar syrup. A delicious guilty pleasure on a summer's day, especially with a cocktail umbrella.
