    Bar Manager, Vigne Bar
    Mandeville Hotel
    London "I use Flor de Caña for making the Mojito. It brings prestige to my collection of rums from Central America. The 18 year-old is a premium brand that sits center stage on my rum shelf. In fact, I recommend it as a substitute for cognac. The bottle is really stylish and attractive to the eye, and I am a big fan."
