MAIN INGREDIENTS
Bacardi is a classic cocktail that originated in Cuba at the beginning of the 20th century. It contains rum, freshly squeezed lime juice, rich sugar syrup, and grenadine syrup, which adds a perfect amount of sweetness to the cocktail. Prior to the addition of grenadine syrup in the combination (which is a modern version with American origins), the cocktail was considered to be a cousin of Daiquiri.
However, according to the New York Supreme Court ruling from 1936, the combination must contain Bacardi Superior Rum to be a true Bacardi cocktail. Typically, the cocktail has to be shaken and served straight up in a standard cocktail glass with a lime wheel garnish.
MAIN INGREDIENTS
Originating from Havana, Culto a la Vida is a classic Cuban cocktail consisting of dark rum, cranberry juice, lime juice, and sugar. It is important to use dark rum instead of dry white rum because it is aged for a longer period of time, which improves the cocktail's flavors.
Culto a la Vida (lit. Cult of Life) is typically made by blending and stirring the ingredients in a shaker before serving it on the rocks in a long drink glass with a lime wedge garnish.
MAIN INGREDIENTS
Cojito is essentially a Mojito with a twist. This cocktail consists of white rum, lime juice, sparkling soda water, and coconut-flavored rum, hence the capital C in the name. The coconut rum gives a unique tropical flavor to the mix, making Cojito a perfect summer drink.
Lime juice is first mashed with mint, followed by rum that is topped with crushed ice and sparkling water. Cojito is typically served in a highball glass, garnished with a mint sprig and a lime wheel. If desired, put some coconut on the rim of the glass, and if you don't have any coconut-flavored rum, feel free to use a combination of coconut milk and regular rum instead.
