Canchanchara

IBA

Considered one of Cuba's oldest cocktails, the Canchanchara dates to the Ten Years' War of the 1860s, when Cuban independence fighters reportedly drank it for warmth and endurance. The combination of white rum, lime, and honey creates a drink that is simultaneously sharp and soothing, with a natural sweetness that softens the spirit's edge.
