    Cocktails With Heather: Hotel Nacional

    Heather Freyer–

    For Latinx Heritage Month (September 15–October 15) we bring you the Hotel Nacional, named after the Hotel Nacional de Cuba. Still a popular destination, it was the epicenter of culture in Havana during the 1950s. As a cocktail, the Hotel Nacional mixes the sweet Caribbean taste of Bacardí Reserva Ocho Rum with nectarous apricot liqueur. It will bring you back in time to Cuba’s Golden Age.

    Hotel Nacional

    2 ounces Bacardí Reserva Ocho Rum
    3/4 ounce pineapple juice
    1/4 ounce lime juice
    1/4 ounce simple syrup
    1/2 ounce apricot liqueur

    Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake mixture vigorously. Fine strain into a chilled coupe glass.
