The equilateral triangle is a clear reference to the yearning for liberty,
equality and fraternity. The color red portends the spilling of blood that would be required to win independence. The single star located in the middle of the triangle is a symbol of absolute freedom. The three blue stripes represent the eastern, central and western provinces into which the island was formerly divided. The two white strips signify the purity and virtue of the Cuban people.

This is gothic shaped. On the upper parts there is a golden key that symbolizes the key position of the island, at the entrance to the Gulf of Mexico and between the two Americas while the rising sun represents a new nation. Three blue strips in the bottom left section are a reference to the regions into which the country was divided during the colonial period. In the bottom right section, the royal palm (symbol of the nobility and the
steadfastness of Cubans), the mountains and the clear blue sky
represent a typical Cuban landscape.
A bundle of eleven staff that symbolizes the unity of the Cuban
people in the struggle for freedom supports the shield, crowned by a Phrygian cap on which there is a white star. Bordering the shield, to the right, there is an oak branch, and to the left, a laurel branch, representing strength and victory.

Cuban national drink: Mojito
Mint leaves, sugar, lime, rum, water, ice cubes. Like an original Mojito.
But over time has created new mojitos. Mojito with cucumber, strawberry mojito, and so on.
The original mojito mades with ice cubes, but the bars do it with frappe ice becouse it melt faster and the customer will drink it faster before it becomes water.
Some people do not take the risk that it can be to sweet or sour and changes the flavor, they use sprite.
Others already have water mixed with sugar and ready to mix with the other ingredients.
But the original Mojito made with grains of sugar that is added to the glass when doing the Mojito (Live)
