Cienfuegos cocteleria
Dark and mysterious, Esperanza for the evening
Impressive array of mainly rum-based punches to satisfy any hankering, from light to rich, sweet, fruity, herbaceous, creamy, tart and more. Sizes are simple (for 1), con un amigo (for two people), toda la familia (4) and royale (6). But the one for 2 people serves more like 4 servings, the one for 4 serves 8 glasses, etc. They do this so that you can enjoy more than one glass of these lovely flavor combinations.
We sat in the Pink Room (too hot) once and enjoyed watching cute female bartenders mixing each punch like witches brew. So many bottles of housemade purees, bunches of herbs and fresh fruit. The main room is cooler (in both senses) and has comfortable throne-like chairs.
We have tried four different punches so far and each one was a winner. Top notch, you must go. We’ve averaged $40 each for punch only. Haven’t tried the food yet, it’s almost all meat or chicken, with one shrimp dish and one vegetarian. Cash only for now.
