Cuba Libre

Prep time:

Rum, cola and lime. It sounds like there is nothing to it, which is why it is served badly everywhere: without enough lime it is another drink, and a worse one.

Ingredients

  • 50 ml white or gold rum
  • 120 ml well-chilled cola
  • Half a lime
  • Ice cubes

Preparation

  1. Fill the glass to the top with ice.
  2. Squeeze a full half lime over the ice and drop the spent shell in.
  3. Add the rum and stir to combine it with the citrus.
  4. Top with cola poured down the side of the glass, to keep the fizz.
  5. One turn with the spoon and it is done.
