The Old Cuban

 

Video

If James Bond ever traded his Martini for something a little more tropical after a long day of chasing villains, I imagine it might look something like this.

The Old Cuban is crisp, refreshing, and effortlessly elegant. Bright lime, aged rum, fresh mint, and sparkling wine come together to create a cocktail that feels like a sophisticated trip to the tropics.

Recipe:

• 1.5 oz Aged Rum
• 3/4 oz Lime Juice
• 1/2 oz Simple Syrup
• 6–8 Mint Leaves
• 2–4 Dashes Angostura Bitters
• Dry Sparkling Wine
• Mint Garnish

Shake everything except the sparkling wine, strain into a coupe, and top with bubbles.
