Pro tip

Use cold juice and crushed ice so the blender needs less time to work. Stop as soon as the texture is spoonable but still pourable.

History of the Frozen Hemingway

The Frozen Hemingway is a blended interpretation of the El Floridita-style Daiquiri. It keeps the original family’s grapefruit, lime and rum structure while changing the texture from shaken and clear to cold and aerated.
