Yield Serves 1

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ounce light rum
1/2 teaspoon curaƧao
1 tablespoon pineapple juice
1 tablespoon lime juice
3 or 4 ice cubes
Stick pineapple
Maraschino cherry

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except the pineapple and cherry in a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously. Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with the fruit.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your Cuban Special will taste. This is especially true for the pork, which should be as lean as possible.
  • Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork overnight in a mixture of citrus juices, garlic, cumin, and oregano will help to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the pork slowly: The pork should be cooked slowly over low heat until it is fall-apart tender. This will take about 2-3 hours.
  • Use a good mojo sauce: Mojo sauce is a essential part of Cuban Special. Make sure to use a good quality mojo sauce that is made with fresh citrus juices, garlic, and herbs.
  • Serve the Cuban Special with traditional sides: Cuban Special is traditionally served with white rice, black beans, and fried plantains. You can also add a side of Cuban bread or yuca fries.

Conclusion:

Cuban Special is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its bold flavors and tender pork, Cuban Special is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting dish to try, give Cuban Special a try.
