Two Mondays ago, Andrea and I stopped into Backbar for a drink. For a start, I was lured in with the drink of the day, Halfway to Havana. Bartender Dan Braganca described his creation as starting with the Hemingway Daiquiri and when he spotted something on this blog using Don's Mix, he decided to take it in that direction. The presence of the sweet vermouth in the Daiquiri also reminded me of the Floridita.
