The Old Cuban
The Old Cuban is a modern classic for a good reason; it’s basically a Mojito in a tuxedo. That familiar mint and lime get a serious upgrade with aged rum and sparkling wine. It's complex, refreshing, and always a hit. The Angostura 1919 we carry at the House of Bitter Bear is just perfect for it.
