Old Cuban
Old Cuban[edit | edit source]
The Old Cuban is a sophisticated cocktail that combines elements of the classic Mojito and the French 75. It is known for its refreshing taste and elegant presentation, making it a popular choice in upscale bars and restaurants.
History[edit | edit source]
The Old Cuban was created by renowned mixologist Audrey Saunders in the early 2000s. Saunders, who is credited with helping to revive the cocktail culture in New York City, designed the drink to be a more refined version of the Mojito, with the added effervescence of champagne.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
The traditional ingredients for an Old Cuban include:
- Aged rum
- Fresh lime juice
- Simple syrup
- Mint leaves
- Angostura bitters
- Champagne or sparkling wine
Preparation[edit | edit source]
To prepare an Old Cuban, follow these steps:
1. Muddle the mint leaves gently in a shaker to release their oils. 2. Add the aged rum, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and a dash of Angostura bitters to the shaker. 3. Fill the shaker with ice and shake well until chilled. 4. Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass. 5. Top with champagne or sparkling wine. 6. Garnish with a sprig of mint or a lime wheel.
Variations[edit | edit source]
While the classic Old Cuban is made with aged rum, some variations include using different types of rum or adding additional flavors such as ginger or fruit infusions. These variations can add a unique twist to the traditional recipe.
