Canchánchara
Cuba's oldest known mixed drink, from Trinidad and the independence wars of the 1860s — aguardiente or rum with raw honey, lime and water, stirred over cracked ice in a clay cup.
Hemingway Daiquiri
The sugarless daiquiri El Floridita in Havana built for Ernest Hemingway — white rum, grapefruit, maraschino and lime shaken hard and served bone-dry and sharp in a large cocktail glass. The IBA lists it as the Hemingway Special.
Mary Pickford
A Prohibition-era Havana cocktail named after the silent-film star — white rum and fresh pineapple with maraschino and grenadine, shaken into a pink, fruity drink that hides its strength.
Black Bean Soup
A Cuban-style black bean soup — dried beans simmered with bay until creamy, seasoned with a cumin and oregano sofrito of onion, green pepper and garlic, and half blended for a thick, glossy body.
Ropa Vieja
Cuba's national dish, whose name means old clothes — beef simmered until it pulls into rag-like shreds, then braised with peppers, onion, tomato, olives and cumin and served with rice and black beans.
Cuba Libre
Rum and cola with a hard squeeze of fresh lime — the lime is what separates it from a rum and coke.
Mojito
The ultimate Cuban classic — fresh mint, tangy lime, and rum topped with soda water. Crisp, refreshing, and endlessly popular.
Daiquiri
Three ingredients, one perfect cocktail — rum, lime, and sugar shaken to a silky froth. Hemingway's favourite and a timeless classic.
