SOBEWFF: Classic Cuban Cocktail Master Class By Cantinero Julio Cabrera

Cost: $145

There’s a right way to make a Cuban cocktail—and few are better suited to teach you than Maestro Cantinero Julio Cabrera. Step behind the bar at Café La Trova for an intimate, hands-on master class with one of the most influential figures in modern Cuban cocktail culture.

A driving force behind the revival of the Cuban cantinero tradition in the United States, Cabrera is the co-founder of Café La Trova and the recipient of the 2023 Roku Industry Icon Award from North America’s 50 Best Bars. His celebrated Little Havana bar has earned international acclaim of its own, including a No. 24 ranking on The World’s 50 Best Bars extended list in 2023 and recognition among North America’s 50 Best Bars for three consecutive years.

Now, guests will have the rare opportunity to learn directly from the Maestro Cantinero himself. Cabrera will share the history, techniques, precision, and time-honored rituals behind some of Cuba’s most iconic cocktails. Learn to shake, stir, and pour classics including the Daiquiri and El Presidente while discovering the unmistakable flair and warm hospitality that define the cantinero craft.

And there could hardly be a more fitting classroom. Café La Trova has become a Little Havana destination where expertly crafted cocktails, Cuban culture, and live Trova music come together under one roof. With the music playing and Cabrera behind the bar, this is more than a cocktail class—it’s an intimate immersion into the art and soul of Cuban cocktail culture, one perfectly crafted drink at a time.
