3. Havana Club, Cuba

Cuba has a proud rum tradition, and Havana Club is the forbidden fruit, much like Cuban cigars. Americans have been enjoying Havana Club for years abroad, and now they can drink it in its city of origin. All the higher-end Havana Club rums are outstanding. They’re produced by the government in partnership with French Pernod Ricard.

The classic Anejo 7 Anos has sweet molasses notes up front and a long, smooth finish, perfect for drinking neat or on the rocks on a hot Cuban afternoon. The lighter Anejo 3 Anos is delicious mixed into a tangy mojito or a rich daiquiri. Legend has it that both cocktails were invented in Havana, at two bars just a few blocks apart — the frozen daiquiri at Floridita, off Avenida Belgica, and the mojito at La Bodeguita del Medio on Empedrado street. Try one of each, and then meander to Hotel Nacional de Cuba to sip rum neat outdoors at Bar Galeria.
