To be fair, it is no different than most other coffee drinks. Are there any where the name really indicates what is in it? I remember the first time I had a Cafe Cubano. Way more sugar than I would have ever expected.
So... this derives its name from the person pushing it. Not that odd.
I am more than a little curious on this drink, now. Will definitely be adding it to my watch/reading list.
Cuba has been famous for its sugar for centuries, so yeah, that name makes sense.
