Cuba Libre

Cuba Libre originated around 1900 in Havana, Cuba, shortly after the end of the Cuban War of Independence. It is made with white rum, cola, and fresh lime juice. It is said to have been invented by an American officer to celebrate Cuba's liberation from Spanish rule. The name translates directly to 'Free Cuba,' symbolizing freedom and celebration.

Flavor

Cuba Libre perfectly balances the light sweetness of white rum, the caramel sweetness of cola, and the acidity of lime, creating a refreshing and well-balanced taste.
