(White Rum, Sugar Syrup, Fresh Lime Juice)
During the Spanish-American War in 1898, an American marine landed on a beach in Daiquiri, Cuba. Looking for something to quench his thirst, he entered a bar and, unwilling to drink straight rum, had it mixed with lime juice and sweetened with sugar, creating the first version of the Daiquiri.

Dark ‘n’ Stormy – € 9,00

Godfather – € 9,00
(Scotch Whisky, Amaretto)
This cocktail is tied to legends surrounding the Italian-American mafia in the United States. One theory suggests it is a tribute to Marlon Brando, who loved the drink and starred in The Godfather.

Godmother – € 9,00
(Vodka, Amaretto)
A softer reinterpretation of the Godfather. The use of vodka makes it smoother and more delicate, traditionally considered more suited to a female audience.

Long Island – € 9,00
(Vodka, Triple Sec, Rum, Gin, Lime, Coca Cola)
Especially popular during the grunge era in 1990s America, when teenagers at parties used its innocent iced tea appearance to get around the legal drinking age. The same principle made it useful in the speakeasies of the 1920s.

Jhon Collins – € 9,00
(London Dry Gin, Sugar Syrup, Lemon Juice, Soda)

Mai Tai – € 9,00
(White Rum, Dark Rum, Orange Curaçao, Orgeat Syrup, Lime Juice)

Its origins are often linked to Sir Francis Drake, the corsair of Queen Elizabeth I and one of the first men to circumnavigate the globe.

Moscow Mule – € 9,00
(Lime Juice, Vodka, Ginger Beer)
It was born in the 1940s from the meeting of two struggling businessmen: John G. Martin, distributor of Smirnoff vodka in the United States, and Jack Morgan, owner of a well-known Hollywood pub where his line of ginger beer was not selling. Together they created a legendary drink that “kicked like a mule”.

Old Fashioned – € 9,00
(Rye Overproof Whisky, Angostura Bitters, Sugar Cube)

Paloma – € 9,00
(Tequila, Lime Juice, Grapefruit Soda, Salt Rim)
Probably invented by Don Javier Delgado Corona, owner and bartender of the famous La Capilla bar in Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico. Fruity and refreshing, it is an excellent alternative to the Moscow Mule.

Decades ago, American oil workers in the Persian Gulf discreetly added vodka to their orange juice while on the job. With no spoon available, they stirred the drink with a screwdriver—hence the name.

Sex On The Beach – € 9,00
(Vodka, Peach Liqueur, Cranberry Juice, Orange Juice)

Tequila Sunrise – € 9,00
(Tequila Silver, Fresh Orange Juice, Grenadine)
Its name comes from the resemblance between its colors and the shades of a sunrise, created by the way the ingredients blend in a highball glass. It is said that famous bartender Gene Sulit created it at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix in the 1930s or 1940s.

Whiskey Sour – € 9,00
(Bourbon Whisky, Lemon Juice, Sugar Syrup)
In 1872, the Englishman Elliott Stubb landed in the port of Iquique, Chile, opened a beach bar, and while experimenting with aperitifs, mixed local limón de Pica with whisky and sugar. The result was a meeting point between Anglo-Saxon taste and South American citrus tradition.

White Russian – € 9,00
(Vodka, Coffee Liqueur, Cream)
A variation of the Black Russian, its name refers to the White Russians who opposed the Bolshevik Red revolutionaries. It later gained pop-culture fame thanks to films such as The Big Lebowski.
