2. Coco Loco
Hardly anything tastes as much of the Caribbean as the water of a fresh coconut. Since pure coconut is far too healthy in the long run, luckily in many countries of the Caribbean there is their crazy sister: the Coco Loco. For the simple variant, which is often sold on the beach or on the street, a coconut is simply opened at the top and, depending on the country’s preference, any spirit is mixed with coconut water. Even more, Coco Loco bangs as a cocktail.

3. Canchanchara
Canchánchara – the name sounds like a Cuban summer night. Indeed, there is a piece of Cuban history in this sweet drink: it is believed that the Canchánchara was invented during the period of independence struggles against Spain. Mambises, the Cuban guerrilla fighters, it is said, mixed aguardiente (sugarcane brandy) with honey and citrus fruits they had on hand. The then still warm drink, should have helped them against the bitter cold. Today the Canchánchara is drunk on ice and served mainly in the old town of Trinidad. Ingredients:- 6 cl of Cuban rum
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- ice cream
