Cuban Cocktails

I'm sharing three different cocktails that would pair wonderfully with the Cuban sandwich which I shared HERE. Thanks to “Cocktails Made Easy” by Simon Difford. 

Cuban Special 

1 ½ shots light rum 

¾ shot triple sec 

2 shots of pineapple juice 

¼ shot freshly squeezed lime juice 

In a cocktail shaker, shake all ingredients with ice and strain into an ice-filled glass. Garnish with a pineapple wedge. 

Cuban Island

½ shot dry vermouth 

½ shot freshly squeezed lemon juice

In a cocktail shaker, shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with an orange twist.
