Named after the Havana seaside walkway, the recipe was developed in the early 1940’s, and was then re-popularized in 2007 by London bartender Erik Lorincz, whose take on the recipe won a competition organized by Bacardi. It requires more ingredients than other Cuban cocktails, but is a suitably fancy drink for special occasions.
Combine all ingredients, except the garnish, in a cocktail shaker filled with ice, and shake . Fine-strain into a cocktail glass, garnish and enjoy.
