Welcome to the GND Recipes Library! The traditional Old Cuban is a modern classic that bridges the gap between a Mojito and a French 75. This zero-proof version is so close to the real thing, you’ll forget it’s a mocktail. It uses non-alcoholic sparkling wine and Angostura bitters to provide that essential cocktail complexity and bite.
