History

Ideal for hot Cuban summers.

Constantino (Constante) Ribalaigua Vert created this drink at El Floridita in Havana, Cuba. The recipe originates from a 1937 menu from Bar Florida, which was later renamed Floridita. The name references Mario García Menocal, who held the position of president of Cuba between 1912 and 1920.
