Cuba Libre is a classic and refreshing cocktail that originated in Cuba. It combines rum, cola, and lime juice to create an easy-to-drink beverage with a refreshing taste! When translated from Spanish, this drink means “free Cuba.” The phrase was popularized around the end of Spain's colonial rule and celebrated the nation’s liberation.
