Cuba libre


Pour in the rum into the glass, fill up with ice and then pour in the lime juice. Fill up with coca cola and garnish with a lime wedge!


The Cuba Libre is a classic cocktail with a fascinating history. Created in the early 20th century, it is said to have originated in Havana, Cuba, around the time of the Spanish-American War. This refreshing concoction is made with white rum, fresh lime juice, and cola, typically served over ice in a highball glass with a lime wedge for garnish. The combination of rum and cola creates a delightful balance of sweetness and citrusy tartness, making it a popular choice for both rum enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike. The Cuba Libre has since become a beloved cocktail enjoyed in bars around the world, carrying with it the spirit and vibrancy of its Cuban origins.
