In 1953, Broadway columnist Earl Wilson watched Ernest Hemingway put three of these away at La Florida: "His first daiquiri is served in the usual cocktail glass. The next is a double, served in a champagne glass. Eventually a highball glass is set down in front of him, whereupon he makes doubly certain that not a drop will be lost. He wraps a paper napkin around the glass, removed a heavy rubber band from his pocket, and twists it above the center of the glass so that it cannot slip from the hand that has never lots its touch." Hemingway was such a devotee to this drink that La Florida barmen often made it "to-go" for him.
