The signature cocktail at Greenwich Village’s Favela Cubana (543 La Guardia Pl.) is a drink that combines flavors you might never think would go together — like jalapeno and blackberries — but it’s a subtle, layered treat to be savored. We suggest having it on its own, or with just some plain yucca fries, so the flavors don’t compete against your dinner for attention on your palate.
