Miami-Cuban Cocktails For Private Groups

Learn how to prepare a traditional Cuba Libre and a Mojito Criollo!

From the comfort of your home, join us for an epicurean adventure while we sip on refreshing cocktails and learn the culinary, cultural and historical background of each of the ingredients. First, we will make a Cuba Libre. While we sip on our Cuba Libre together, we will get to know one another, and then move onto the mojito, and we will show you step by step how to prepare the perfect one. 

Despite having few ingredients and sunny, tropical-Miami vibes, mojitos require a sequence of precise steps. In a drink with so few components, if you do the steps wrong, you’ll taste every off-flavor. We won’t let you down, no teeth crunching on sugar crystals or over-muddling your mint.  

Even in an era when articles, reviews, videos and blogs are everywhere, people still crave to connect with live storytellers who can lead you on a journey despite our separation.

Ingredients: white rum, white sugar, fresh mint, 2 limes, 2 large cups of ice cubes, 1 cup of club soda (or sparkling water), 1 can/cup of Coca Cola. Utensils: tablespoon, 2 tall glasses ( 12 ounces ). Nice to have ( otherwise we will guide you ): Handheld lemon squeezer, muddler or rolling pin, measuring cup.

Price: $16 per person. Duration: 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on the number of guests. Availability: Seven days a week

Jewish–Cuban Cooking with Award-Winning Cookbook Author Robyn Webb.

Miami is known and admired for its multicultural community. So many lineages are represented in the Magic City, and two of them have contributed much to shape the history and present-day life in this beloved city.

Jewish and Cuban cultures have generously bestowed Miami with their art, architecture, dance, music and of course, incredible food. Each heritage has furnished these separately, but the Jewish and Cuban cultures also are entangled with each other. They share many of the same values, and one laid the groundwork for the other culture to shape Miami as it is today.

In this highly enjoyable, completely hands-on cooking class, award-winning cookbook author ( 17 cookbooks to her name! ), and former cooking school owner, now a top guide for Miami Culinary Tours, will meld the Jewish and Cuban cultures into one exciting culinary extravaganza! We call it Juban Cooking!

In this class you will be preparing THE best potato pancakes, latkes as they are commonly referred to, but with a Cuban twist. Even if you have prepared latkes before, you will now be privy to the insider secrets on how to make them truly spectacular.  And instead of the traditional Jewish accompaniments to the pancakes, Robyn will expertly show you how a luscious Cuban mojo sauce makes these latkes shine.
