1. Old Cuban Champagne Cocktail Recipe

The Old Cuban is a mash-up of the classic champagne cocktail and the mojito. This drink pays homage to the Prohibition era of the 1920s, when American socialites flocked to Cuba to party.

2. Sparkling Pomegranate Caipirinha Recipe

The Caipirinha is a bit like a Daiquiri, except that it uses sugarcane–based cachaça instead of rum, and whole lime pieces instead of just the juice. It’s a bold, tangy, and husky drink, even more so when gussied up with ruby-red pomegranate and sparkling wine.
