[...] I had this theory that there might be some sort of Sanskrit roots to the word Frangipani (pani = water and all that), but as far as I can find out, Frangipani refers to a tropical flower (and a few other stuff). How that relates to the cocktail, I have no idea and the web is sparse on details about it. The only other mention of it as a cocktail has a very different recipe.

Nice post. Coincidentally I wrote about the Hemingway a couple weeks ago as well. You can check it here if you so desire: http://umamimart.blogspot.com/2009/07/happy-hour-daiquiri.html

I must say however, that while I’m all for retooling cocktails to fit one’s taste, it’s simply not a Hemingway without the Maraschino, as it adds that indelible touch that sets it apart from other daiquiris, even more so than the grapefruit juice I’d say. A fine post nevertheless!

I may have missed the official celebration on the 19th, but we won’t be missing out on this wonderful sounding cocktail. Louis and I love grapefruit and I agree with Justine, it sounds so refreshing.
Thanks for sharing.

Oooh, I can see how these could be very delicious–and dangerous. But in a good way! It’s amazing what flavors we discover when we skip the mixes and pre-made stuff, and go back to the basics. I’ve gotta try these!
