People are always looking to get into the Guinness World Records Book.<\/p>\n
The recognition that comes with such a feat can be very enjoyable and a team of mixologists from Cuba are keen to have their effort validated.<\/p>\n
Some ten bartenders at El Floridita in Old Havana have created the world's largest daiquiri cocktail in honour of the tavern's most famous customer – novelist Ernest Hemingway.<\/p>\n
The concoction was 270 litres, came in a 6.5 ft-tall cocktail glass and required 65 people to work on it.<\/p>\n
Manager of the bar Anders Aranciba said: "It is a dream that we have wanted to make reality for more than a year. It is a distinctive experience in homage to the great daiquiri cocktail."<\/p>\n
The attempt coincided with what would have been Hemingway's 113th birthday and the writer – who penned For Whom the Bell Tolls and A Farewell to Arms – lived in the Finca Vigia estate near Havana from 1939 until 1960.<\/p>\n
