Macuá

Named after a tropical bird native to Nicaragua, Macuá is a combination of white rum and fruit juices from lemon and guava. The cocktail was invented by Dr. Edmundo Miranda Sáenz, who created it at the end of 20th century, but it gained popularity in 2006, when it was selected as the national drink of Nicaragua.

Macuá is prepared by blending the ingredients with crushed ice, and it is traditionally served on the rocks in a highball glass garnished with an orange wheel.
