For a less tart cocktail, slightly increase the maraschino liqueur to 0.75 fluid ounce. Use freshly squeezed lime and grapefruit juice for the best flavor. If you don't have a cocktail shaker, you can use a tightly sealed mason jar.
A spirited homage to the literary giant, this Daiquiri is a symphony of sweet and tart notes, anchored by the robust character of rum. A cocktail that tells a story with every sip.
Chill a cocktail glass in the freezer for at least 15 minutes. (15 minutes)
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
Add the rum, lime juice, maraschino liqueur, and grapefruit juice to the shaker.
Secure the lid and shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker is frosted, about 15-20 seconds. (1 minute)
Strain the mixture into the chilled cocktail glass.
Garnish with a lime wheel and serve immediately.
