Canchanchara

Cuba's oldest thirst-quencher.

Fiery aguardiente, lime and raw honey, stirred over cracked ice — the drink Cuban rebels carried before rum was refined.

Ingredients

  • Cuban Aguardiente60 ml
  • Fresh Lime Juice15 ml
  • Raw Honey15 ml
  • Water50 ml

Garnish

Garnish with a lime wedge.

Method

  1. 1Mix honey with water and lime juice and spread the mixture on the bottom and sides of the glass.
  2. 2Add cracked ice, and then the rum.
  3. 3Stir energetically from bottom to top.
The lesson

Spreading the honey-lime mix around the glass first seasons every sip. Where you put an ingredient matters as much as how much.
