More than just a rum and cola, the Cuba Libre is a cocktail born of history and refreshing simplicity. By combining the deep, caramel notes of premium rum with the effervescence of cola and a sharp, essential hit of fresh lime, this drink offers a perfectly balanced highball experience. It’s crisp, citrusy, and undeniably sophisticated.

The Method:
Pro Tip: Don't just drop the lime in—squeeze it into the glass first, then drop the husk in. This releases the oils from the peel, which gives the drink its signature aroma.
Bartenders Note: Fill a highball glass with large ice cubes. Squeeze the lime juice over the ice, pour in the rum, and top with chilled cola. Stir gently to integrate the flavours and drop the lime wedge into the glass.
