Cocktail enthusiasts, listen up. With Asia’s 50 Best Bars taking place in Macau this July followed by Hong Kong hosting World’s 50 Best Bars in October, there’s plenty on the horizon for the drinks-loving crowd – and even more exciting news from the bartending scene. Lorenzo Antinori, co-founder of Bar Leone (ranked number 2 in The World’s 50 Best Bars 2024, and awarded The Best Bar in Asia 2024) and Simone Caporale, co-founder of Sips Barcelona (ranked number 3 in The World’s 50 Best Bars 2024, The Best Bar in Europe 2024, and The World's Best Bar 2023) are teaming up to unveil Montana, a Cuban-inspired bar that pays homage to the Club de los Cantineros, a collective of Cuban bartenders founded in the 1920s.
Within the electric atmosphere of Miami in the 1970s, customers can look forward to sipping on classic Cuban cocktails like the Daiquiri, Mojito, and El Presidente, all crafted with Antinori and Coporale’s creative bartending styles. The Cuban-inspired drinking destination is set to open its doors this summer, so it won’t be long before we can enjoy sensational cocktails mixed by these two masters.
Follow Montana on Instagram and stay tuned to this page as we hear more about the bar’s opening.
