This drink was created by Robb Collins, Group Head Bartender at London Cocktail Club in London, England. He shared that he developed it for the 2015 Bacardi Legacy UK Finals. Collins stated, "Inspired by a fictional love story of an American soldier who falls in love with a French Cuban girl called 'Mariposa' during WWII."
