An Old Cuban Cocktail is a tasty rum cocktail, an upgrade from the Mojito, and can be enjoyed at any time of the year.
A modern classic drink, the Old Cuban Cocktail recipe!
Think of this cocktail as a French 75 and a warm Bahama breeze colliding while the fresh mint and lime are teasing the bubbly. A minty Daquiri, or an upgrade from the popular Mojito with the addition of a splash of champagne or prosecco.
So in essence, this Old Cuban is really not old at all, but it’s more of a modern classic that was created by Audrey Saunders in New York…yes, a bit far from Cuba, but definitely has all the tastes of stunning Cuban cocktail.
