1. Did You Say You Have a Cuban One For Me?

Best for cigar-lovers out there, Did You Say You Have a Cuban One For Me is a real treat. Blow your mind with a version of Cuba Libre made with cigar-infused rum. Prepare yourself for the eccentric combination of flavors in this cocktail by @cocktail.vision . This is a real labor of love.

Ingredients

Steps to Make

  1. Using a sphere ice mold , make frozen cola by directly pouring the cola into the mold and freezing it for 2 hours or more.
  2. Infuse a 2-inch long Montecristo cigar in 8 oz of white rum for 8 hours. For a milder taste, remove the cigar after 2-4 hours.

  4. Add a tablespoon of paprika into the jar then close the lid tightly. Let sit for 1-2 hours.

  6. Shake well and double strain into a cigar whiskey glass to highlight the cigar aroma and flavor.
  7. Top with a frozen cola sphere and a dusting of smoked paprika.

When you hear the words “jungle cat”, what comes to your mind? You might think of a tiger, but @barrelageddad changes that with this Jungle Cat cocktail .

  2. Double strain into a chilled old-fashioned glass .
