Cuba Libre

IBA

Born in Havana around 1900, the Cuba Libre — meaning 'Free Cuba' — merged American Coca-Cola with Cuban rum as a toast to the island's independence from Spain. The squeeze of fresh lime lifts what might otherwise be a simple mixed drink into something bright and purposeful, anchored by the rum's subtle molasses depth.
