Hotel Nacional Special
A sophisticated Cuban sour with apricot brandy and pineapple.
Base spirit
Apricot brandy
Style
And pineapple.
The Hotel Nacional Special improves upon the Daiquiri template by adding apricot brandy and pineapple juice to the rum and lime base. The apricot liqueur adds a stone-fruit depth that pairs elegantly with the tropical pineapple, while the lime keeps the finish dry. It is shaken until an aggressive foam forms, creating a silky mouthfeel. This drink defines the 'Golden Age' of Cuban cantineros.
