ERNEST HEMINGWAY SPECIAL El Especial de Ernest Hemingway Antonio Meilan, the bartender at the famous Floridita Restaurante in Havana, served this drink on many occasion to Papa Hemingway. Antonio made it for me the exact way he prepared it for the writer. If you have trouble finding maraschino liqueur, substitute cherry-flavored brandy.
