Inspiration: I wanted to celebrate the liquid and let the Ron Santiago de Cuba Extra Añejo 11 Years Old shine through the drink while pairing it with flavours local to the region, which just so happen to be a lot of the flavours I grew up with. Growing up in a Ghanaian household, I was exposed to a lot of ingredients that are also native to Cuba and surrounding countries.
