IBA NewEra Bubbly Citrus

O Old Cuban é um elegante coquetel criado por Audrey Saunders no Pegu Club de Nova York em 2001. É feito com scotch mesclado, rum añejo, suco de limão fresco, xarope de açúcar, hortelã, Angostura bitters e finalizado com Prosecco. Esta bebida, que fica em algum lugar entre o Mojito e o coquetel de champanhe, obteve status de clássico instantaneamente e se posicionou como um dos coquetéis mais notáveis dos clássicos modernos.

History & Origins

The Old Cuban was created by Audrey Saunders, a leading figure in the American craft cocktail revival, at her Pegu Club bar in New York City, which opened in 2005. It was developed as a sophisticated elevation of the Mojito, substituting Prosecco for soda water to add elegance and complexity. The drink rapidly gained recognition as a modern classic and is now included in the IBA's New Era Drinks category.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh mint and lime with a gentle sweetness from the rum and sugar, lifted by Prosecco's fine effervescence. Palate: Crisp and aromatic with white rum providing a clean spirit backbone, lime acidity brightening the palate, mint's herbal freshness weaving through, and Angostura Bitters adding a subtle spice complexity; Prosecco adds a refined bubble and a slight yeasty note. Finish: Dry, clean, and effervescent with a lingering mint and citrus note.

Pro Tip
