The Revolution of Cuba Cocktail Making

A popular bar chain is on the hunt for a member of the public to join their team and help create new rum-fuelled cocktails. The job involves a day of rum sampling, a cocktail development session and creating a TikTok video or Instagram Reel.

Located on the Cloth Market in Newcastle upon Tyne, Revolucion de Cuba is a popular venue for a night out with friends or a date. It also has a great selection of Tapas and Latin American inspired dishes on offer.

Mojito

The Mojito is one of the most popular Cuban cocktails that has a long and fascinating history. It was created in the 1500s by an associate of English pirate Sir Francis Drake. According to legend, it was a cure for scurvy. The drink has since become a classic in the cocktail world and is served around the globe.

The ingredients in a mojito are simple: sugar, lime juice, fresh mint, and white rum. They are typically muddled in a glass with the back of a muddler or spoon, which helps release the mint’s aroma and essential oils into the mix.

For a refreshing and delicious taste, it is best to use an unaged white rum, such as Plantation 3 Stars or Banks 5 Island. You can also try a blend of various rums from different countries to get that perfect’mojito’ flavour.

Once you have the ingredients, make sure to shake well before pouring into a tall glass over ice and garnishing with fresh mint leaves or lime slices. This will ensure that the cocktail is served at a consistent temperature and gives it an authentic taste.

While the Mojito is a Cuban drink, it has a wider global appeal, particularly in hot climates where it can be refreshing. It has a sweet taste and is made using fresh mint and citrus, which gives it an aromatic and refreshing taste that makes it the ideal drink for hot summer days.

To create a true Cuban mojito, the key is to ensure that you use an unaged rum with no added sugar. This will help to balance out the sweetness of the other ingredients and give your mojito a real authentic flavour.

When you are mixing your own mojitos, it is important to mix the ingredients thoroughly. This will ensure that the sugar is dissolved and that the mojito has a smooth, creamy texture. You should also be sure to add the rum at the end, as this will ensure that it is mixed well and has a rich flavour.

This is one of the three signature cocktails that have become famous in Cuba, along with the daiquiri and Cuba Libre (also known as the Cubata). To get a better understanding of how to make this iconic Cuban drink, you can book our Mojito making lesson at our Old Havana rooftop location, where an English-speaking bartender will provide you with all the instruction that you need to enjoy an authentic mojito for yourself – so it’s a great way to get stuck into the culture of this beautiful country.

Daiquiri

If you’re looking for a refreshing drink that’s easy to make, a Daiquiri is the way to go. This classic cocktail is made with white rum, lime juice and sugar syrup. It’s a great drink to enjoy on hot summer days, as it’s refreshing and cool.

This delicious drink has a long history and can be traced back to the eponymous town of Daiquiri on the southeastern coast of Cuba. It’s reputed to have been invented by Jennings Cox, an American mining engineer who was working in the area around 1905.

He reportedly ran out of gin and decided to use rum instead, which was a common spirit in the area at the time. The drink was a huge hit and Cox christened it the Daiquiri, despite being unsure of its origins.

Despite its illustrious past, the Daiquiri is still widely misunderstood today. Many people associate it with adult slushies, not the smooth and delicious cocktail it truly is! But, as with all cocktails, this drink can be improved with a few simple changes.

For instance, instead of using a traditional cocktail shaker to make your Daiquiri, try using a blender. This will allow you to prepare multiple drinks in a shorter amount of time, which makes it perfect for serving at parties.

Another key element in a delicious Daiquiri is fresh, in-season fruit. While it may be tempting to reach for frozen strawberries or a Daiquiri mix, fresh strawberries are the best option for this recipe. This helps to thicken the drink and keep it icy cold, while also letting the flavor of the fruit shine through.

You can make this with any rum you like, but many bartenders recommend using white rum in the recipe to get the bright, fresh flavor and to ensure the drink maintains its signature color. You can also experiment with a blend of different spirits to create a new, more unique taste.

If you want to make a more tropical-looking Daiquiri, you can also add banana. The texture of the banana adds a bit of texture to the drink, as well as a delicious tropical taste.

Cuba Libre

The Cuba Libre is one of the most popular Cuban cocktails. It is made with rum and coke, and is very simple to make at home. It is also easy to find in most places and is very refreshing.

It is a classic cocktail and has many variations. It is a great drink for parties and can be served at any time of the year.

This is a very popular cocktail and can be found in most bars and restaurants around the world. It is a very simple cocktail to make and is a great drink for any party or event.

When making a Cuba Libre you need to use a high-quality rum and cola. A good rum will be light in color and has a sweet, tropical flavor. A high-quality cola will also be sweeter than the one in your average grocery store.

A light rum will help balance the sweetness of the cola and the lime juice. A dark rum can add more complex notes and will be richer in flavor than the lighter rum.

Zombies are a type of creature which have been reanimated by either thaumaturgy (poison) or a pathogen, often but not always due to a virus. These creatures can be dangerous, but can usually be killed with body shots.

They are generally unintelligent and can exhibit a lack of awareness, often appearing as apathetic and at a loss to understand their environment. This is often accompanied by aggressive behaviour.

The term zombie is derived from Haitian folklore, although it was adapted to fit Western cultural norms in the 1932 horror film White Zombie. It was a significant cultural shift, as it was the first time that a non-African culture could bring a zombie into mainstream popular culture.

The zombie had a complex history, starting out as a kind of immaterial spectre before moving into the physical realm of the dead. The American pulp magazines of the 1920s and ’30s were full of tales of these vengeful undead, lurching out of cemeteries as a result of their killers’ actions. They would then seek out their killers and wreak havoc in their wake.
