On the port road right in front of Havana's harbour, there is an ancient mansion, the second biggest in the Cuban capital, which opens its doors to welcome visitors from around the world. It once belonged to counts and bishops, consuls and ship owners, lawyers, scientists, and intellectuals until March 30, 2000 when it became the Havana Club Rum Museum.
The mansion is a popular place for those who want to learn about the history of Cuba's exquisite liquor which was baptized years ago by the Cuban intellectual, Fernando G. Campoamor, as "sugarcane's joyful son."
And it is precisely sugarcane's sweet juice, called guarapo, which is one of the main ingredients in the Museum's famous cocktail, the Guarabana. A refreshing sip of a Guarabana is the initial toast for all visitors
March 30, 2000 when it became the Havana Club Rum Museum.
