Havana Club Anejo Blanco (White) Rum (700ml)

Produced since 1878, this authentic Cuban Rum has been made using only the best dark molasses derived from Cuban sugar cane. The aguardientes of this 'Anejo Blanco' (aged white) are aged in oak barrels giving it delicate straw coloured shades and a fresh fruity flavour. This classic, drier style rum is an ideal mixer and the bar standard for making up any of the famous cocktails of Cuba including the Mojito, Daiquiri and Cuba Libre. 37.5% alc./vol.

Classic Cocktail: The Mojito
This traditional Cuban cocktail became popular in the United States during the late 1980's and has recently seen a resurgence in popularity. A Mojito (pronounced moh-HEE-toh) is made of five ingredients: mint, rum, sugar, lime juice, and club soda. Its combination of sweetness and refreshing citrus and mint flavours are intended to mask the potent kick of the rum, and have made the cocktail a popular summer drink. Mojitos were the second favourite drink (after Daiquiris) of the writer Ernest Hemingway. There are countless recipes for the Mojito , but this version is the one Hemingway himself enjoyed at the Mojito's place of birth: La Bodeguita del Medio in Havana, Cuba.
