It was my late father\u2019s favorite place and it\u2019s the country of rum and cocktails; so it\u2019s a great honor for me to have my second edition here,\u201d Mouzakiti declared a few minutes after closing the event with the presentation of the Barlady 2025 awards.<\/p>\n<p>Her competition is still a nascent event. The first edition took place in 2024 in Athens, and Cuba was not only one of the participating nations, but its representative, Kenia Borges, was the winner in the National Cocktail Category. But winning wasn\u2019t the only goal of Cuba\u2019s representation at the event.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe goal was to go to the world competition, to come back with results, and to bring the venue to our country. Both goals were achieved,\u201d Eddis Naranjo, President of the Cuban Bartenders Association, tells us.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_319544\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-319544\" style=\"width: 1140px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Barady-2025-Eddis-Naranjo-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-319544\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Barady-2025-Eddis-Naranjo-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1140\" height=\"815\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Barady-2025-Eddis-Naranjo-1.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Barady-2025-Eddis-Naranjo-1-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Barady-2025-Eddis-Naranjo-1-1024x732.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Barady-2025-Eddis-Naranjo-1-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Barady-2025-Eddis-Naranjo-1-120x86.jpg 120w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Barady-2025-Eddis-Naranjo-1-350x250.jpg 350w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Barady-2025-Eddis-Naranjo-1-750x536.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-319544\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Eddis Naranjo, President of the Cuban Bartenders Association, says that holding the Barlady in Havana is an incentive for the new generations.

Another incentive is the opportunity these types of international events offer to maintain Cuban rum\u2019s position as a major global brand.
