Canchánchara
Cocktail History
The Canchánchara is an invigorating Cuban cocktail from the colonial town of Trinidad and is said to be the oldest known cocktail in Cuba, dating back to (or before) the Ten Years War in the late 19th century. The cocktail was said to be a healing drink. Before the mojito or the daiquiri became popular, the Canchánchara was the go-to cocktail for Cubans.
