History

Created by Constantino (Constante) Ribalaigua Vert at the Floridita bar in Havana, Cuba. This recipe is adapted from a 1937 Bar Florida (later renamed Floridita) menu. The name refers to Pepin Rivero, who took over the Cuban El Diario de la Marina newspaper upon the death of his father Don Nicolas Rivero in 1944.

Review

White chocolate come coconut ice-cream, only vaguely rescued from fluffiness by gin spirit.

Thought this would be a bit weird and I wasn't wrong but in a good way. You definitely don't want to skimp on the chocolate rim, it really is the maker of this drink.
