Cuba’s cocktail scene is legendary. This is in no small part thanks to the writing of American author and Nobel prize for literature laureate Ernest Hemingway, who lived just outside of Havana for most of the 1950s. He helped bring Havana’s pre-revolution bars to an international audience, and made their three predominate cocktails household names. Sixty years after Castro’s revolution, the mojito, daiquiri, and Cuba Libre (also called the Cubata) still play a significant role in the country’s culture. Our mojito making lesson allows you to explore some of that culture for yourself. Not only do you get instruction from a local bartender into how to mix the perfect mojito, but you get to enjoy the cocktail that results – so mix carefully – and delight in the Old Havana rooftop location at the same time. Our mojito making lesson has a flexible start time, meaning its easy to slip into your itinerary should you find yourself wanting to experience even more of what the Cuban capital has to offer, and lasts approximately 40 minutes. All the ingredients you’ll require, from the white rum, to the sugar, lime juice, soda water, mint leaves, and ice, are provided, and two drinks are included as part of the lesson.
