It is prepared in a shaker, shaking all the ingredients with crushed ice. And it is served in a chilled glass with the rims soaked in lemon and salt.
2. Piña Colada:

3. Michelada:
It is a drink of Latin/American origin, in which beer is joined with lime juice, spice and salt. Its probably Mexican origin has 2 stories behind it: The first one in San Luis Potosí, others affirm that it was born from the deformation of the Spanish language. And it literally means “My frozen chela”. What do you think?
4. Daiquiri:
This drink is prepared with white rum, lemon juice, sugar and crushed ice. Everything is shaken in a shaker and served. This drink was originally prepared on the beaches of Santiago de Cuba, popularized by Ernest Hemingway in his endless gatherings at the “Floridita” bar in Havana.
5. Mojito:
Another drink of Cuban origin, a drink that combines the balance between acid, sweet and aromatic ingredients: rum, mint, fresh lime, white sugar, ice and soda. Legend has it that this drink was known as “El Draque”, after the English pirate Francis Drake, having its origins in the 16th century.
6. Cuba libre:
Many popular drinks have come out of Havana, another example being the famous Cuba Libre. A mixture of Rum and Coca Cola. This drink arose between 1901 and 1902 when the American forces collaborated with Cuba in the Spanish-American war.
They mixed Bacardi rum and cola in a glass of whiskey. It was named after the battle cry of the Cuban troops.
Caipirinha:
A drink that comes from Brazil, being the favorite cocktail of the Cariocas, it is also one of the most consumed drinks worldwide. It is prepared using sugar, ice, lime and Cachaca alcohol (fermented sugar cane juice). It is usually served with mango, kiwi or cashew.
8. Mar Tai:
It was created in California in 1944, when Vic Bergeron served his drink to some friends from Tahiti. And they replied: Mar Tai (Better). Hence its name and its Polynesian inspiration, its ingredients are light and dark rum, Curaçao liqueur, lime juice and Orgeat syrup.
9. Sex on the beach:
An extremely popular cocktail, it has two versions: One based on Vodka, orange juice, peach liqueur and cranberry juice (International Bartenders Association version).
And the second option based on vodka, chambord, Midori, pineapple juice and cranberry juice (TGI FRIDAY’S restaurant version, included in Mr. Boston’s official bartender’s guide).
