cuba libre

Haitian rum and falernum amplify the island vibes in this take on the Cuba Libre.

A bartender’s visit to Haiti inspired this play on the classic Cuba Libre, served on draft at San Francisco’s Interval at Long Now (but just as easy to mix at home).

Ingredients

1½ oz. Haitian white rum (Interval uses Barbancourt)
½ oz. falernum
⅜ oz. cane cola syrup (Interval uses Monin, or substitute the syrup and seltzer for 2 oz. of Mexican Coke or other cane cola)
1½ oz. seltzer
Half a medium-sized lime

Tools:barspoon
Glass:double Old Fashioned
Garnish:spent lime shell

Preparation

Add all the liquid ingredients to an ice-filled glass. Squeeze the juice from the lime half into the glass and stir briefly to combine. Garnish with the spent lime shell.
