* Mojito

Probably Cuba’s most famous cocktail, the mojito has undergone dozens of international variations with tequila, gin, Metaxa, soju, or other local spirit substituting Cuban rum.

There are different theories about its origins, including one that goes back hundreds of years to before it was called mojito, when people would consume the same ingredients in Havana.

* Daiquiri

One of Ernest Hemingway’s favorite drinks, the daiquiri was invented in the early 20th century near Daiquiri, a small village in eastern Cuba, by an American engineer who worked at a local iron mine. The drink expanded not only to the rest of the country but also to the United States via U.S. troops that had served in Cuba.

* Cubanito

Think of this drink as a simplified Bloody Mary. Unlike our neighbors in Mexico and Central America, most Cubans tend not to like spicy food or sauces, so only a few brave people will drink cubanitos.

* Cuba Libre

The Cuban “rum and coke,” Cuba Libre has been around from the very moment Coca-Cola started shipping its product to Cuba in 1900. The name means “Free Cuba,” referencing Cuba’s newfound independence from Spain.

* El Presidente

Named in honor of former Cuban President Gerardo Machado (1925–1933), this drink became popular in the 1920s, probably when Machado was still popular—this is the president who gave Cuba the Capitol Building and Central Highway and had promised in his presidential campaign to turn Cuba into “the Switzerland of the Americas.”
