Killer New Year's Eve Cocktail: Hemingway in Jalisco

—By Patch Staff

This is little play on the classic Hemmingway Daiquiri substituting blanco tequila for white rum. The touch of bitterness from the Maraschino Liqueur perfectly balances the big flavors of grapefruit and agave. 

• 2 oz  Tequila Blanco
• ½ oz Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur
• 1 oz fresh grapefruit juice

Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass. Fill with ice. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a strip of grapefruit peel by rubbing the peel pith side up along the rim of the glass, twisting it in your fingers and dropping it pith side down into the glass.
