This Hemingway-themed restaurant has a fine seafood-centric menu, but it's the cocktails that make this Calle Ocho secret a "must." Cocktail powerhouses Ben Potts and Gui Jaroschy, under their Halcyon Beverages brand, have created a cocktail menu that pays tribute to the Cuba of bygone days — the one Hemingway loved so much. The iconic author was famed for being the inspiration for the Hemingway daiquiri, created by Constantino Ribailagua at the El Floridita in Havana in the 1920s. Here, the drink is given new life as the Hemingway #4 ($13). Do not miss Salao's gin-and-tonic cart, from which the bartender will make you a gin and tonic tableside — say, the "Varadero," with Hendrick's gin, Fever-Tree Mediterranean tonic water, lemon, olive, and fresh rosemary; or the "Ancon," with Hendrick's Orbium gin, Fever-Tree elderflower tonic water, dried lime, cucumber, and roses ($15 each). At Sala'o the simple gin and tonic becomes liquid performance art.
