Got this noteworthy news blast from a PR firm (The Jeff Wagner Agency) about National Daquiri Day, July 19. Did you know there was a National Daiquiri Day? I didn’t and I read this with great enthusiasm as I Heart daiquiris– especially frozen ones but that’s another story and cocktail.
They linked it to Ernest Hemingway’s birthday which is 2 days after National Daiquiri Day..
When Hemingway moved to Cuba in 1939, he frequented a local bar in Havana called El Floridita where he developed a special love for the daiquiri. He tweaked their recipe to his liking, and created a “Hemingway-style” rendition of the cocktail
as well as a killer recipe for that cocktail!
– and Library Bar brings it to downtown.
ACME Hospitality Group invites anyone wanting to celebrate this invitation to a National holiday ( It is NATIONAL Daiquiri Day!) to the Library Bar, their well-read watering hole located at Sixth & Hope in Downtown Los Angeles, to celebrate National Daiquiri Day Ernest’s way: amidst thousands of books, good company, and the chilled glass of a Hemingway Daiquiri in your hand.
Here’s the recipe!
Hemingway Daiquiri ($12)
1.5oz Bacardi Rum
.25oz Maraschino Liqueur
.50oz Grapefruit Juice
.75oz Lime Juice
.75oz Simple Syrup
Served in a Coup
Instead of making it at home, why not head to the Library Bar in downtown LA to have one. It’s more fun and definitely a pleasurable place to hang out that managed to create the ambiance of Hemingway’s fave haunts and you will love it! The food is newer than Hemingway.. so it’s an homage in spirit and spirits!
Set in an intimitely-lit lounge featuring its iconic bookcase surrounded by cozy lounge furnishings, Library Bar offers a palate of elevated American fare with savory dishes such as the widely popular Pork Belly Skewers and the Library Burger.
Located at the corner of Sixth & Hope in Downtown LA, Library Bar is open
Monday through Friday, 3pm to 2am;
Saturday and Sunday, 7pm to 2am.
Happy Hour runs 5pm to 8pm, Monday through Friday.

Thanks to Jeff Wagner Agency for alerting me to this critical mass of a holiday!
