IBA Tiki

A modern Cuban tiki built for the IBA's 2022 World Cocktail Championship and made an official New Era cocktail in 2024. Bartender Diosmel Mendoza Medrano layered two Havana Club rums under amaretto, Frangelico, and a whisper of maraschino, then balanced the spirits against passion fruit, pineapple, and lime over a base of muddled ginger. Served long over pebbled ice, it is lush and aromatic — tropical fruit and toasted nuttiness threaded with a clean ginger bite.
