So I have decided to have a party on my thread today.

A small one.

Fidel Castro had decided to step down.

I called my papi early this morning, and I said did you hear?

And he said, well, I am not going to believe it till i see some change in Cuba.

I said I love you, ok.

I know he is emotional today.

My papi is a hero, both my parents are. I am the proud daughter of Cuban Exiles, and I will have a small party, in tribute to them and my family.

And best of all

Free Booze

yay

Sooooooo I will offer you our faves.

Havana Cooler:

1 [small] bottle of ginger ale

1 sprig of mint (fresh)

1 jigger of Bacardi rum

You then put the Bacardi and mint in a glass with (crushed or whole) ice-cubes and add enough ginger ale until you have a refreshing drink.

Bacardi Blossom :
1 jigger of orange juice

1 jigger of Bacardi rum

a splash of Orange Curacao

You then need to put these into a cocktail shake and give them a really good hip-shake. One you have done this, pour out the contents into a glass of crushed ice.


Cuba Libre:

½ teaspoon of lime juice

1 lime

2 ½oz of coke

2oz of Havana Club

If you cannot get your hands on any Havana Club, don’t be too concerned as pretty much any other rum, of the same type, is acceptable!


Champola de Guanabana


3 cups Guanabana pulp

4 cups of milk

1 cup of sugar

ice cubes

ground nut meg for garnish

Combine all except nutmeg in a pitcher. Keep cool. Serve with nutmeg sprinkling.

And my FAV

Cuban Mojito recipe

the original authentic recipe from Havana Cuba


1 teaspoon powdered sugar
Juice from 1 lime (2 ounces)

And enjoy your freedom!
