Recreating the legendary 1933 cocktail from Havana's original Sloppy Joe's Bar
In short: Step into the era of the Great Depression and the end of American Prohibition. This video recreates a signature brandy cocktail sourced from a rare 1933 souvenir book once given only to patrons of Havana's iconic bar.
The recipe originates from a tiny, non-saleable souvenir book issued by the original Sloppy Joe's Bar in Havana, Cuba. During the 1930s, while the United States faced the Depression, travelers often headed to Cuba for gambling and nightlife.
This specific drink is a cognac-based cocktail that may not suit every palate. The preparation involves shaking two parts pineapple juice with one part Martell 'Three Stars' cognac, finished with drops of grenadine and curaçao, and served in a tall glass.
