The book I referenced says cherry juice and if we're talking Key West in the 1930's it may have been easier to get cherry juice than cherry liqueur. Just sayin. That's interesting. I've always seen that recipe listed with marashino liqueur. Hemingway liked his drinks notoriously dry, and he was a diabetic as well. I can't belive that he would have used juice from maraschino cherries, which is just sugar syrup, in his daiquiri. But you never know.
