Cuba Libre Cocktail Recipe
The Cuba Libre is a classic Cuban highball cocktail made with rum, Coca-Cola, and fresh lime juice. Meaning "Free Cuba," it originated in Havana in the early 1900s following the Spanish-American War and is distinguished from a simple Rum & Coke by the addition of lime juice, which cuts the sweetness and adds bright citrus notes.
