Old Cuban Cocktail Recipe

No Comments
OLD CUBAN COCKTAIL Recipe

The Old Cuban cocktail is a Rum, lime, mint and Champagne cocktail. It is considered a refined short drink variant of the classic and popular long drink Mojito (white Rum, lime, mint, sugar, sparkling water), as it is infused with Champagne instead of soda water. In contrast to the Mojito, however, it is not white Rum that is used, but rather dark, mature Rum, which is served in a cocktail or champagne glass along with additional Angostura bitters.

INGREDIENTS

  • 45 ml/ 1 ½ oz. aged Rum
  • 22,5 ml/ ¾ oz. freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 30 ml/ 1 oz. simple syrup
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
  • 60 ml/ 2 oz. Brut Champagne or Prosecco
  • 6 – 8 mint leaves

METHOD

  1. Pour all ingredients into cocktail shaker, except the Champagne.
  2. Add ice and shake well.
  3. Fine strain into chilled glass.
  4. Top with Champagne.
  5. Garnish with mint sprigs.

NOTES

The Old Cuban is one of the few well-known cocktails whose history of origin is understandable and undisputed, because the recipe was only published in 2002. It was created by bartender Audrey Saunders, who has been running the New York bar Pegu Club since 2005. A little later, the drink could be found on bar menus worldwide and, at least in Germany, is one of the top sellers in upscale bars. The drink is “extremely tasty and incredibly fresh”, and whoever drinks one usually has more to follow, according to several bartenders.

Green Swizzle Cocktail Recipe

No Comments
GREEN SWIZZLE COCKTAIL Recipe

The Green Swizzle cocktail was popular between 1890s and the 1930s during a period when the grand hotels of the Caribbean, such as the Queen’s Park Hotel in Trinidad, were in their prime. This drinks legendary status is partly due to its featuring in The Rummy Affair of Old Biffy by P.G. Wodehouse. Bertie Wooster sings its praises after enjoying a few at the Panter’s Bar of the West Indian stand at the 1924 British Empire Exposition at Wembley, London.

INGREDIENTS

  • 45 ml/ 1 ½ oz. light Rum
  • 10 ml/ ⅓ oz. Overproof Rum
  • 5 ml/ ⅙ oz. green Absinthe
  • 25 ml/ ⅚ oz. Falernum
  • 15 ml/ ½ oz. freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 5 ml/ ⅙ oz. crème de menthe (green)
  • 3 dashes of Angostura bitters

METHOD

  1. Pour all ingredients (except the Angostura) into chilled glass two-thirds filled with crushed ice.
  2. Swizzle with swizzle stick (or churn with a barspoon).
  3. Add more crushed ice to fill the glass.
  4. Crown with 3 dashes Angostura bitters over the drink’s ice cap, a lime wedge and mint sprig.
  5. Serve with straws.

NOTES

To prepare a Green Swizzle, it’s best to use an authentic swizzle stick. Real swizzle sticks are long stems snapped off a tree native to the Caribbean, and feature multiple prongs that stick out horizontally. When spun rapidly between your hands inside a cold cocktail, the swizzle stick will create a thick layer of frost on the outside of a glass – the sign of a perfect swizzle.
