No cigars, but great Cuban drinks

As you may know, Alaia is part of the Marriott Autograph Collection Hotel brand and as such, no smoking is allowed at the property. You may say no Cuban night is complete with the famous cigars, well, the special cocktails during this evening will make up for it. Some of these even come with the tobacco touch that lovers of the leaf may be longing for. 

The special cocktail menu 

Head to the bar or ask your server for the specials of the evening. If you are a cigar aficionado, go for the Cuban Almond Cigar cocktail; it has the rich sensation of freshness and tropical flavors connected to premium tobacco. To get more in the mood try the Havana Old Fashioned or the Old Cuban Mix. El Presidente and Rum Cool Mule are other choices at this unique Havana Nights at Alaia Belize. However, a favorite would be the Havana Floridita. This cocktail greets your palate with a shower of fresh tropical flavors leaving you with lingering notes of nuttiness and some cacao.
