Cuba
Libre
“This drink
is supposed to have originated in Cuba in the wake of the Spanish-American war
around the turn of the 20th century. It became popular in the States around
World War II: With sugar rationed by the government, Coca-Cola was one of the
only available mixers. Since 1960’s Cuban embargo, the drink has been steeped
in irony: Coca-Cola is unavailable in Cuba and the traditional Cuban rum used
in the recipe is unavailable in the States.”
Ingredients:
Ice
2 ounces dark rum
6 ounces Coca-Cola
Lime wedge
Preparation:
Fill a
Collins glass with ice.
Add the rum
and Coca-Cola.
Garnish with
the lime wedge.
Serve cool.
