The Old Cuban is an elegant and sophisticated cocktail, often described as a luxurious twist on the Mojito. This cocktail was invented in the 2000s by the award-winning bartender Audrey Saunders from New York City and has since become a classic in cocktail culture. What makes the Old Cuban special is the combination of Rum, Lime juice, mint, Angostura Bitters, and Champagne. This blend creates a unique flavor profile where the fresh aromas of mint and lime perfectly harmonize with the bold taste of Rum, while the sparkling Champagne finish lends the cocktail a special elegance. The Old Cuban is a cocktail that can be enjoyed both as an aperitif and a digestif, making it perfect for special occasions and celebrations.
