Editing Bacardi (section)

==Hemingway connection==
[[Ernest Hemingway]] lived in Cuba from 1939 until shortly after the [[Cuban Revolution]]. He lived at [[Finca Vigía]], in the small town of San Francisco de Paula, located very close to Bacardi's [[Modelo Brewery]] for [[Hatuey (beer)|Hatuey Beer]] in [[Cotorro, Havana]].

In 1954, Compañía Ron Bacardi S.A. threw Hemingway a party when he was awarded the [[Nobel Prize in Literature]] – soon after the publication of his novel ''[[The Old Man and the Sea]]'' (1952) – in which he honored the company by mentioning its Hatuey beer. Hemingway also mentioned Bacardí and Hatuey in his novels ''[[To Have and Have Not]]'' (1937) and ''[[For Whom the Bell Tolls]]'' (1940). [[Guillermo Cabrera Infante]] wrote an account of the festivities for the periodical ''Ciclón'', titled "El Viejo y la Marca" ("The Old Man and the Brand", a play on "El Viejo y el Mar", the book's Spanish title). In his account he described how "on one side there was a wooden stage with two streamers&nbsp;– Hatuey beer and Bacardi rum&nbsp;– on each end and a Cuban flag in the middle. Next to the stage was a bar, at which people crowded, ordering daiquiris and beer, all free."<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Cabrera Infante |first=Guillermo |year=1956 |title=El viejo y la marca |journal=Ciclón}}</ref> A sign at the event read "Bacardi rum welcomes the author of ''The Old Man and the Sea''".

In his article "The Old Man and the Daiquiri", Wayne Curtis writes about how Hemingway's "home bar also held a bottle of Bacardí rum". Hemingway wrote in ''Islands in the Stream'', "...this frozen daiquirí, so well beaten as it is, looks like the sea where the wave falls away from the bow of a ship when she is doing thirty knots."<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Curtis |first=Wayne |date=October 2005 |title=The Old Man and the Daiquiri |url=https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2005/10/the-old-man-and-the-daiquiri/4257/2/?single_page=true |journal=The Atlantic}}</ref>
