Cuba libre
The national
drink of Cuba celebrating its independence. There's more to it than just cola,
rum and lime; it's the way you make it. Rum and Coke, or the Cuba libre, Spanish
pronunciation is a highball cocktail consisting of cola, rum, and in many
recipes lime juice on ice. Traditionally, the cola ingredient is Coca-Cola and
the alcohol is a light rum such as Bacardi. However, the drink may be made with
various types of rums and cola brands, and lime juice may or may not be
included.
The cocktail
originated in the early 20th century in Cuba, after the country won
independence in the Spanish–American War. It subsequently became popular across
Cuba, the United States, and other countries. Its simple recipe and
inexpensive, ubiquitous ingredients have made it one of the world's most
popular alcoholic drinks. Drink critics often consider the drink mediocre, but
it has been noted for its historical significance.
