Aruba Ariba cocktail

Origin
Aruba Caribbean Hotel (1964)

The Aruba Ariba cocktail drink was created on July 1, 1963, at the Aruba Caribbean Hotel. During a bartender competition, the 24-year-old Juan (Jocky) Tromp[2], the bar manager of the hotel, emerged as the winner with his creation, Aruba Ariba. It's prepared with vodka, rum, crème de banane, and cucui, complemented by a mixture of fruit juices, including pineapple juice, orange juice, lemon juice, and grenadine. In a drinking glass, these ingredients are mixed with crushed ice, lightly stirred, and topped with a maraschino cherry and optionally an orange slice.[2] The cocktail is refreshing and invigorating with a higher alcohol concentration than average. Grand Marnier can be used as a substitute for cucui.

Annually, on July 1st, the invention is celebrated at this hotel, which has been operating under the name Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino since 2015.
