cuban rose
The "Cuban Rose" is an elegant rose-shaded cocktail that dates to the early 20th century, when Bacardi dominated the rum market (and would for most of the century). In fact, a 1934 bartending guide lists the ingredient as 'Bacardi' instead of 'rum'. The emergence of this cocktail also coincides with a time in America when bar patrons' were particularly fascinated with Cuba. And during Prohibition, Cuba was a favorite retreat for those wishing to legally imbibe and for many unemployed bartenders who had few job opportunities in the U.S. due to Prohibition's ban on sales and importing of booze.
