    About

    The Rum and Coke, also known as the 'Cuba Libre,' is a simple yet iconic cocktail that combines the rich, molasses-based flavor of rum with the sweetness and effervescence of cola. It originated in the early 20th century, gaining popularity in Havana during the American Prohibition era when rum was abundant and Coca-Cola was introduced to Cuba. This drink symbolizes a cultural blend of American and Cuban influences and is still a favorite for its simplicity and delicious balance. Whether served with a lime wedge or enjoyed plain, the Rum and Coke is a staple at casual gatherings and celebrations.
