Cuba Libre
makes 1 drink
Most people who order it in a bar or make it at home simply call it a Rum and Coke, but this delightful drink has a distinguished history and a stately name to match.
This recipe comes from Rob Chirico's Hair of the Dog. For more of Rob's great cocktails, buy his Field Guide to Cocktails.
2 ounces light rum
Cold Coca-Cola
Ice
Lime wedge
prep: 5 minutes
total: 5 minutes
chilled high-ball glass
Pour the rum and Coke over ice into a chilled highball glass. Squeeze in the lime wedge.
As a variation, try a Mexicola, which substitutes tequila for rum.
