History Of The Old Cuban
The Old Cuban was created by Audrey Saunders in 2001, while working at a New York restaurant called the Beacon. The Old Cuban cocktail is a cross between a French 75 and a Mojito. The strong mint and aged rum are balanced by the light effervesce of the sparkling wine and presented as a fancy sour. An absolutely wonderful cocktail and one you should try.
