Let's get this weekend started right. Here's a cocktail to kick things off. Need more than one? Here you go. Cheers!
Even though summer is waning, it's still sunny and you're hot--what could be better than the icy, minty, rum-soaked goodness of a mojito?
This isn't a mojito. It's close, though—and maybe even better.
Think of the Old Cuban as what a mojito wants to be when it grows up. Suave and urbane, yet with the mojito's summer-busting power, the Old Cuban is one of the finest rum drinks around. A contemporary classic created by Audrey Saunders--she of Pegu Club fame—the Old Cuban is the cocktail to spring on your mojito-loving friends when you want to take them to a new dimension.
