The story behind Mazagran Rum Cooler
Mazagran, named for a town in Algeria, is an early chilled coffee drink with French-Algerian history. This house version adds aged rum and soda to its characteristic coffee-and-lemon combination.
This is a Where It's Five house creation inspired by local ingredients and drinking traditions, not a historic national cocktail.
