Cuban Special Ingredients


Cuban Special Instructions

The Cuban Special is a refreshing and tropical cocktail that brings the flavors of the Caribbean to your glass. With its blend of rum, citrus, and mint, this drink is perfect for sipping poolside or enjoying at a summer barbecue.

To make a Cuban Special, start by muddling a handful of fresh mint leaves in the bottom of a glass. This will release the aromatic oils and add a burst of flavor to your drink. Next, squeeze the juice of half a lime directly into the glass. The tartness of the lime will balance out the sweetness of the other ingredients.

Add two ounces of white rum to the glass. The rum is the star of this cocktail, providing the smooth and tropical base. Fill the glass with ice and top it off with club soda for some added fizz.

Give the cocktail a gentle stir to combine all the flavors, and garnish with a sprig of mint and a slice of lime. This will not only make your drink look more appealing, but it will also add an extra hint of freshness.

Now that your Cuban Special is ready, sit back, relax, and enjoy the flavors of the Caribbean. This cocktail is perfect for any occasion, whether you're hosting a summer party or just looking to unwind after a long day.

Remember to drink responsibly and always enjoy alcoholic beverages in moderation. Cheers!


Best served in a Cocktail Glass.
