This classic cocktail is named for the hotel in Havana that hosted many celebrities during its long, glamorous history. It even played a role in the Cuban missile crisis.
The drink is typically made with an aged rum, but in this version, Plantation pineapple rum is used to boost the fruit’s essence.
