Havana Special Instructions
The Havana Special is a refreshing and tropical cocktail that brings a taste of Cuba right to your glass. With its blend of rum, pineapple juice, lime juice, and grenadine, this cocktail is the perfect way to transport yourself to the sunny shores of Havana.
To make a Havana Special, start by combining 2 ounces of rum, 2 ounces of pineapple juice, and 1 ounce of lime juice in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well to combine the flavors and chill the ingredients. Next, strain the mixture into a glass filled with crushed ice. This will give the cocktail a cool and refreshing texture. Finally, drizzle 1/2 ounce of grenadine over the top of the cocktail. This will create a beautiful red hue and add a touch of sweetness to balance out the tartness of the lime juice. Garnish your Havana Special with a pineapple slice and a maraschino cherry for a festive and tropical touch. Serve your Havana Special and savor every sip of this exotic and delicious cocktail. Cheers!
Best served in a Highball Glass.
