Comment
Ernest Hemingway was an American writer, winner of Nobel Prize of Literature on 1954, for his novel "El Viejo y el Mar" (The Old Man and the Sea).Hemingway liked too much Cuba, and purchased a plantation on 1940, "Finca Vigía", the next 20 years he was on and off Cuba.
He also liked to drink Daiquiri cocktail and "Mojito", a Cuban cocktail made with rum, mint, ice and sugar.
At "La Bodeguita del Medio", a restaurant on Havana, he wrote on the wall "Mi mojito en La Bodeguita, mi daiquirí en El Floridita". (My Mojito at the Bodeguita, my daiquiri at the Floridita); this made popular Floridita's daiquiris, and also the tradition of visitors signing on the walls of the Bodeguita.
