ABOUT: Havana Cola and Havana Mojito were created by a Cuban born American entrepreneur in the early 1990s. Her dream was to create magical drinks. Beverages that captured the essence of beautiful beaches on moonlit nights … spicy cuisine . . . salsa music and dancing . . . and did justice to legendary cocktails like the Cuba Libre and the Mojito.

In 2006, Havana Beverages was purchased by Sandy Nixon, a pioneer in product innovation and founder of FB3 Development, the premier development and manufacturing incubator for the food and beverage industry. He reformulated the products and focused on all-natural flavors and ingredients.
The result? A cola so good Teddy Roosevelt would charge up San Juan Hill for one and a Mojito so refreshing Hemingway would be sure to have one in his hand while sitting on the deck of The Pilar.
