OK, I just invented a cocktail that needs a name.
I’m sitting here listening to the inimitable Eric Taylor singing Hemingway’s Shotgun.
During a recent trip to Santa Fe, I had the pleasure of visiting the Secreto Lounge, in the historic Hotel St. Francis. The barman is the very interesting Chris Milligan. He’s got a fantastic set of drinks, including the Agave Way (Black Grapes and Green Chili), the Spicy Secreto…
Yesterday we covered with Gin & Tonic taste so good together. The science suggests some other pairings, like Strawberry and Coriander. In the interests of science, we explore. For your scientific pleasure, we offer up the Jumping Ions cocktail.
In honor of the release of Papa Hemingway in Cuba, a movie about Hemingway’s time in Cuba, we bring you the Hemingway Daiquiri. Not the frozen slushy part mix, the real deal.

I saw something from a Facebook friend’s Wall that sounded yummy.
A Maui Brewing company Coconut porter with a shot of rum in it. Kind of a Hawaiian Boilermaker.
Hm…..
Your classic tropical cocktail, the Mai Tai.
