\"\"<\/a>Chef and partner Guillermo Pernot\u00a0will pay tribute to Papa by offering\u00a0his creative spin on the traditional menus\u00a0from\u00a0El Floridita, one of Hemingway\u2019s favorite Havana hangouts.<\/p>\n

The writer never met a drink he didn\u2019t like but his daiquiris were his favorite. In honor of National Daiquiri Day on July 19, Pernot has developed drink specials, specialty cocktails and bar bites.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is impossible to think of Ernest Hemingway without acknowledging how important Cuba was to him, and this menu is our tribute to one of the finest American authors and some of his favorites from Havana,\u201d says Pernot, a two-time James Beard Award winner who connects diners to Cuba through his dinner series featuring native Cuban chefs, as well as culinary trips to Havana.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Pernot has concocted seven refreshing cocktails, priced at $9 a pop, including the Dinger, a blend of Hayman\u2019s Old Tom Gin, Cuba Libre 5 Year Rum, muddled limes and grenadine with a candied ginger rim. Select\u00a0El Floridita\u00a0cocktails will be $5 during Cuba Libre\u2019s daily Caippy Hour throughout the month of July.<\/p>\n

The El Floridita\u00a0dinner menu, served July 15-22, is a three-course, prix-fixe menu priced at $39. Options include: Crema Floridita, lobster Velout\u00e9 soup with seafood medley or\u00a0C\u00f3ctel de Camarones del Golfo\u00a0al estilo Hemingway, fresh Gulf shrimp, poached and chilled, with Nuevo Cubano cocktail salsa;\u00a0Papa y Mary, a surf and turf\u2019of petit filet mignon with culantro b\u00e9arnaise and lobster rings with enchilado sauce or\u00a0Pargo \u201cAmbos Mundos,\u201d\u00a0Malanga-crusted, crab-stuffed red snapper with vanilla and roasted sweet onion sauce; and\u00a0Alaska Tropical, vanilla and chocolate ice cream and panatela cake with rum and mint liquor-flamb\u00e9ed meringue or\u00a0Papa Hemingway Sorbeto.<\/p>\n
