Havana Special
Cocktail History
The Havana Special cocktail can be traced back to 1935, found in the classic La Floridita Cocktail book. It captures the traditional Caribbean rum and pineapple combination, with the Cuban fascination of Maraschino liqueur during that era. Think of a pineapple daiquiri but with a little twist.
