Cuban rum
Caribbean sugarcane liquor
Cuban rum is rum produced in Cuba, historically regarded as among the finest in the world.
Cuban distilleries developed a lighter, smoother style that became the standard for white rum in cocktails like the mojito and daiquiri.
The U.S. embargo has made authentic Cuban rum unavailable in America since the 1960s, adding to its mystique: He brought back a bottle of Cuban rum from his trip to Havana.
