The Golden Glove cocktail is supposed to be a "heavy weight" cocktail offering designed by Constante Ribalaigua in 1937. This variation to the daiquiri was served at Havana’s well-known La Florida Bar and was blended to a Frappé style. With enough ice one can pile the drink upon itself in a coupe so it looks like a pyramid of sorts. In our case, it was a bit liquidy for the snow pile but hey, we're no Constante. Yes, they had blenders back in the day--at least one style of electric blender and it didn't blend out all the big ice chunks so many drinks of this style where strained into the glass with a coarse strainer (as to allow the smaller shavings to go through but keep the bigger pieces out of the drink). A little spritz of citrus oil and a garnish to complete the cocktail design. Support The Show: http://patreon.com/cmc Speakeasy Martini Glasses: http://bit.ly/1fTJmMw The Golden Glove 2 oz.
