Mojito

A Greek mixologist duo has won a €10,000 prize for mixing cocktails in Cuba.

Cuba is famous for its rum cocktails and on Wednesday evening below Havana's iconic Morro Castle, guarding its bay, 400 people gathered to toast its best-known rum, Havana Club, but not with Cuba libres, mojitos and daiquiris in hand.

A new spot for getting traditional Cuban eats opened on Sept. 25  in the Turkish metropolis of Istanbul, offering customers the experience of being in Havana without ever going to Cuba.

The opening of La Bodeguita del Medio features a wide array of traditional Cuban dance and music performances along with, of course, Cuban food.
