Thankfully it didn't take them long to drop me from their list of
suspected bad guys. A couple of years later I got to see my file
when I had a job requiring a security clearance and I "found" a copy
in a locked drawer in the H.R. dept.

      Title: El Floridita Daiquiri
 Categories: Alcohol, Beverages
      Yield: 1 Servings
 
      2 oz White rum
    3/4 oz Fresh lime juice
      1 ts Sugar or simple syrup
      1 ts Maraschino liqueur
 
  Originally prepared as the simplest mixture of three basic
  ingredients: rum, lime, sugar, over the past century the daiquiri
  has been saddled with all kinds of baggage, from strawberries,
  bananas and mangoes (all too often in the form of artificially
  flavored knockoffs) to imitation lime juice and massive slurpy
  machines.
  
  While it's easy to dismiss the many adaptations of this classic
  drink as unnecessary tinkering or as outright heresy (depending on
  how worked up you tend to get about these kinds of things), that's
  too simplistic. Properly handled, a daiquiri made with a couple of
  fresh strawberries tossed into the cocktail shaker or prepared with
  a little crushed ice in a blender can be a beautiful thing.
  
  And even the bartenders who made Havana a haven for thirsty
  Americans during Prohibition added occasional flourishes to the
  daiquiri. Here's one that's particularly worthwhile: El Floridita
  Daiquiri.
  
  Named for the Havana bar that hosted thousands of daiquiri drinkers
  back in the day, with the notable example of Ernest Hemingway (he
  had his own version of a daiquiri that the Floridita bartenders
  prepared for him in bulk), El Floridita Daiquiri takes the basic
  template for the original daiquiri and adds one slight, though
  flavorful tweak with a touch of aromatic maraschino liqueur. It's a
  small change to the daiquiri, but one that gives an already
  exceptional drink a bit of depth and gravity.

  Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker (if using granulated
  sugar, stir to dissolve it in the lime juice before adding the
  other ingredients) and fill with ice. Shake well, and strain into
  a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a thin slice of lime.
