#114 Cocktail: El Floridita No.1

       The name of the cocktail comes from the place where it was invented, Floridita.
       Floridita or El Floridita is a historic fish restaurant and cocktail bar in the older part of Havana (La Habana Vieja), Cuba. It lies at the end ofCalle Obispo (Bishop Street), across Monserrate Street from the The National Museum of Fine Arts of Havana (Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de La Habana). The establishment is famous for its daiquiris and for having been one of the favourite hangouts of Ernest Hemingway in Havana.
      Actually, this El Floridita cocktail is nothing else than a twist on the classic Daiquiri. With the maraschino liqueur added to the drink, the taste receives a richer and powerful flavor
