Often mistaken for just being a Rum & Coke, the Cuba Libre adds one key ingredient that makes all the difference…Fresh lime juice!
The lime juice adds a refreshing zest that balances the sweetness of the cola and the richness of the rum and creates a distinctly different cocktail!
The addition of the lime juice helps cut the sweetness of the cola so our variation of the Cuba Libre uses our 12-Year aged Rum where its mature barrel notes and herbal flavors from the cane juice shine through for a complex but refreshing burst of flavors.
