Where to get a Hemingway daiquiri
Can't be arsed making a Hemmingway daiquiri for yourself? Try one of these bars
Blue Water Bar
It's built inside an old warehouse and everything glitters as if under the deep blue sea. Crystal curtains and a gleaming white bar stand like an island in the middle of the huge room. The Hemingway doesn't appear on the list but they won't blink an eye when you ask for one. 6 Cowper Wharf Road Woolloomooloo, 2011. (02 9331 9000).
Bayswater Brasserie
Charlie Ainsbury - king of classics and head bartender here - mixes a mean Hemingway behind the well-stocked bar. Sit back in one of the raspberry banquettes for the full effect. 19-33 Bayswater Rd
Potts Point, 2011. (02 9357 2177).
Cushion
It may look like the sort of place that's more likely to make you a Toblerone Crush with extra cream but don't be fooled by appearances - these guys shake it as good as the next guy. Maybe even better. Crowne Plaza Hotel 242 Arden St, (cnr Carr St) Coogee 2034. (02 9315 9130).
Firefly
The skinny room and even skinnier bar plays host to an astonishing selection of liquor from around the world from the dustiest old bourbons to gleaming bottles of gin and a huge selection of rum. And yes, their drink making skills match the booze. 17 Hickson Rd, Dawes Point, 2000. (02 9241 2031).
Crystal Bar
It's burlesque-a-go-go here, sure, but they also mix a seriously tasty beverage and if you close your eyes and put your face against the cool sandstone wall, it feels like you're drinking cocktails in a Victorian jail. In a good way, of course. GPO Building Lower ground floor/1 Martin Place, 2000. (02 9229 7799).
