Let's go back fifty years. Imagine a trip to Havana, Cuba. Author Peter Moruzzi takes us there. That's Peter Moruzzi reading from his new book "Havana Before Castro: When Cuba was a Tropical Playground." It depicts a time -- before Fidel Castro's Revolution, and before the U.S. embargo against Cuba -- when Havana was a top destination for Americans. If you want to kick back this holiday season with a tropical cocktail from Havana then may I recommend to you the La Floridita Daiquiri. You take 1 ounce fresh lime juice. 1/4 ounce sugar syrup 1/4 ounce Maraschino liqueur 1 3/4 ounces white rum Shake well with a generous scoop of crushed ice. Strain into a pre-chilled cocktail glass.
