2006 remember
Hold in the "Hemiciclo" of the Havana Capitolio (ex-Cuban Congress), the 2006's classic competition focused on long drinks, highlighting the mixability of the range of Havana Club rums. Leading bartenders from 26 countries, the 6th Havana Club Grand Prix saw the success of Italy (Gianalberto Alessandrini) and Uruguay for the flair competition (Danilo Oribe).
Here is Gianalberto's winning recipe:
Havana Club Añejo 3 Años
Mapo Mapo
Papaya syrup
Pineapple pieces
Guava syrup
Garnished with fresh fruit

The Origin of Cocktail: A bit of history (And big question marks)
Like Rock n’ Roll, Hot-Dogs or Curling, the origins of the Cocktail are subject of debate.
The definition of the word first came up in an editorial published in The Balance and Columbian Repository, printed in Hudson, New York. It read: “A Cocktail is a stimulating liquor composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water, and bitters.”
Nevertheless, there are probably as many alleged stories about the origins of the word 'cocktail' as there are cocktail recipes known to man.
Some say that the word comes from an apothecary in New Orleans, who used to serve a mix of brandy, sugar, and bitters in an egg-cup (“coquetier” in French).
An evocative origin of the word comes from “Cock-Ale”, a mixture of spirits fed to fighting cocks in the 18th century.
Another story claims that an American barkeeper in a harbor had a ceramic container in the form of a rooster. Every evening penniless customers would, for a cheap price, come and help themselves to the mixture of the leftover drinks that had been poured in the cock.
There are so many myths and legends about cocktails that you might want to have a go at studying archeology before doing your research on who invented the Daiquiri or the Mojito.
Here’s some essential readings you will need in order to dive into the centuries-old world of mixed drinks:
The Bartender’s Guide: How to Mix Drinks or The Bon Vivant’s Companion – Jerry Thomas (1862)
Bartender Manual - Harry Johnson (1934)
The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks - David A. Embury (1948 )
The Joy of Mixology – Gary Regan (2003)
Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails: From the Alamagoozlum to the Zombie 100 Rediscovered Recipes and the Stories Behind Them – Ted Haigh (2009)
