Champagne Cocktails: Old Cuban

Not old at all: this now world-famous cocktail was first mixed in 2002 – by Audrey Saunders, boss of New York’s Pegu Club, who is equally famous in the bar scene. Shortly after, the cocktail appeared in bars all over the world. The drink is seen as a more refined version of the popular long drink Mojito. It’s smooth and unbelievably fresh. 

A luxurious, minty drink topped with our favourite, champagne! 

In the video above, Malwin Hillier co-owner and bartender of the adorable Marmion Bar Frankfurt shows you how it’s done, and here comes the recipe to try on your own. 

Santé!
