El Floridita

Havana, Cuba

Training ground for the world’s best Cantineros and favorite haunt of legendary writer Ernest Hemingway, El Floridita is one of the world’s most famous bars and the pearl of Havana. Since its inception in 1817, the bar has retained most of its classic charm through the ages – the bartenders still dress to impress in pressed white shirts and red coats, live music draws boisterous crowds, and historic photographs line the walls. One can also expect to find all Cuban cocktails of note at the ready, from the classic Daiquiri and its cousin the Papa Doble, to the Mojito, Cuba Libre and Mulata. Despite attracting mostly tourists today, to drink within El Floridita’s walls is to drink in a piece of Cuban history – a bucket list destination for any savvy cocktail enthusiast.
