Refreshing Strong

Cuba Libra是经典Cuba Libre的变体拼写——dark rum加新鲜青柠和Coca-Cola加冰——保留了标志性rum可乐鸡尾酒的相同基本原则。酒精度9.85%,是一款中等酒力、易饮的highball,dark rum的糖蜜深度与Coca-Cola的焦糖甜味和青柠汁的新鲜酸味相辅相成。青柠汁和皮屑增添了重要的柑橘明亮感,使其有别于简单的rum可乐。

History & Origins

Cuba Libre (or Libre) has its origins in Cuba around 1900, following the Spanish-American War and Cuba's independence, with the name meaning 'Free Cuba.' The drink's emergence coincides with the introduction of Coca-Cola to Cuba during the American occupation. Its origin is disputed among several accounts, though the combination of rum, cola, and lime became synonymous with both Cuban culture and American commercial expansion in the early 20th century.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Dark rum's molasses and fruit, the sweet caramel-vanilla of Coca-Cola, and a bright fresh lime note. Palate: Sweet and refreshing; the dark rum's richness blends with the Coca-Cola's complex sweetness and carbonation, while the lime juice adds a clean citrus tartness. Finish: Sweet and medium-length with a citrus and rum fade.

Pro Tip

Rub the cut edge of the lime around the rim of the glass before squeezing the juice in, to deposit the citrus oils on the rim for aromatic effect with each sip.
