Latin spirits have an authentic and unmatched flavor. Each one represents the history, character, and identity of its country of origin. Can you imagine visiting Mexico without trying tequila or mezcal, or being in the Caribbean without enjoying a perfectly made mojito? These spirits are more than just drinks—they're liquid culture.
At RosaNegra Beach, we incorporate them into our signature mixology, with cocktails inspired by the vibrant flavors of Latin America. Here’s a closer look at three of the most iconic spirits: mezcal, rum, and cachaça.
Mezcal: The Soul of Deep Mexico
The story of mezcal dates back to the 16th century, when the distillation process arrived in Mexico from Europe, thanks to the Arabs. Over time, local producers perfected the technique, giving rise to spirits like mezcal, aguardiente, and tequila.
Mexico has an impressive variety of agave plants, which makes mezcal a complex drink with unique notes and diverse flavor profiles. While it’s traditionally enjoyed neat, mezcal is also perfect for contemporary cocktails with a smoky and sophisticated twist.
Rum: The Caribbean Classic That Conquered the World
Rum has roots tracing back to 11th-century Granada under Arab influence. Sugarcane was brought from India, and fermented drinks were produced from it. Later, the Spanish brought sugarcane cultivation to the Antilles, where rum flourished to its fullest.
Today, rum is synonymous with the Caribbean, present in countries like Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and Colombia. Its versatility makes it a favorite in tropical cocktails, from mojitos to daiquiris.
Cachaça: The Brazilian Spirit in Your Glass
Cachaça is Brazil’s national spirit and one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world. It’s made by distilling the fermented juice of sugarcane, and although many refer to it as “Brazilian rum,” it has a unique identity of its own.
The most famous cocktail made with cachaça is the caipirinha—prepared with lime juice, sugar, and plenty of ice. Refreshing, vibrant, and perfect for beach days.
