The Old Cuban is a cocktail created by Audrey Saunders in 2001 while working at Beacon. It made its official debut in early 2002 when Audrey placed it onto the cocktail menu at Bemelmans bar at the Carlyle Hotel. Saunders has kept the cocktail on her menus since then at all the bars she has managed.

Now considered a “Modern Classic” cocktail, many bartenders around the world pay tribute to Saunders by proudly including this drink on their menus.
