Los Tres Grandes (Cockteles Cubanos)

First off, the "mojito."

Click here to see a video of how to make a mojito (from About.com)

(notice that this recipe recommends the making of a "paste" (not everyone would like this approach, but....sure, why not? It's one way to make it)

For the very popular Bacardi mojito site and beat, go here.

There's a lot of information on the web on "mojitos." We like this article that appeared in The Los Angeles Times back in 2001 (click here).

Next, the "daiquiri."

Here's an excellent collection of historic images and information from a Blog called "Tales of the Cocktail." We enjoyed reading this material and hope you do too (click here).

And last, but not least, we present the "Cuba Libre."

Yes, that's your basic rum, cola, and splash of lime.

Here's a basic recipe from the site Drinks Mixer (most interesting of all, see all the comments people have written in....many variations, para todos los gustos...)
