Calle Sol Latin Café & Cevicheria, a Charlotte restaurant with a focus on Cuban and Peruvian cuisine, as well as other Latin American flavors, has released new winter menu items.

Executive Chef Paul Cruz centers the menu by drawing inspiration from the culinary cultures of Miami, Tampa and Orlando. He added new appetizers, sandwiches, soups and more.

There is also a new range of cocktails. New choices include:

• Amarillo ‘Rita – Orange juice margarita with silver tequila and aji amarillo peppers

• Brainkiller – Brugal Añejo rum, coconut cream, lime and pineapple

• Fall Fashioned – Bourbon, maple, apple cider and spices.

There is also a new group menu. The restaurant has put together a separate menu for home family evenings, office events, and vacation get-togethers. Items include the restaurant’s familiar Chaufa, Peruvian fried rice and Cuban fried rice, as well as family packs of meats and sides, and sandwich platters.

Here are some highlights from the new winter menu:
