This light, summery, classically styled cocktail is sure to be a crowd pleaser. En Vogue is loosely based upon the Hemingway Daiquiri with maraschino liqueur and grapefruit inclusion, but this time created with tequila lovers in mind. Sweeten the deal to preference by dialing the simple syrup up or down.

Hemingway Daiquiri Inspired En Vogue

En Vogue – recipe by Cheri Loughlin, The Intoxicologist

2 ounces Camarena Tequila Silver

1 ounce Lime Juice

1/4 ounce Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur

3/4 ounce Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice

1/4 to 1/2 ounce Simple Syrup – according to preference

2 dashes Orange Bitters

Lime Wheel & Maraschino Cherry Garnish

Place all liquids in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend and chill. Strain into chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with skewered lime and cherry.

1/4 ounce of simple syrup renders a slightly tart cocktail with grapefruit and cherry more pronounced. 1/2 ounce of simple syrup sweetens the deal for more crowd pleasing cocktail while maintaining refreshing tartness.

About the Hemingway Daiquiri

The Hemingway Daiquiri, also known as the Papa Dobel, was inspired by Ernest Hemingway. This oldie but goodie drink recipe uses clear rum rather than tequila. It contains no added sugar or simple syrup.

A famous quote attributed to Ernest Hemingway, “I drink to make other people more interesting.”
