Progressive Hints

Definition: "A Cuban export"
This is a charade - two separate parts are joined together to form the answer. Look for words or phrases that can be abbreviated or shortened.
Take a word for 'strong drink' and combine it with an abbreviation for 'airline' (specifically British Airways). The two parts join directly together.
Answer: RUMBA | RUM (strong drink) + BA (British Airways airline code) = RUMBA (A Cuban export - the dance)
