RUM
Before it became a slushy sugar bomb, the Daiquiri was a delicious mix of sugar, lime juice, and rum. “It should be in any man’s repertoire,” says Philip Greene, author of the new Hemingway-themed bio/cocktail guide To Have and Have Another. You can customize the basic drink with different styles of rum or citrus. “Hemingway knew this, and had his own variation,” Greene says.
