Cuba libre cocktail kit

A glass of cola with ice cubes and a lime wedge on the rim, condensation on the glass, on a wooden table with lime slices in the background.

A Cuba Libre is a crisp, refreshing highball that’s more elevated than a basic rum and coke thanks to fresh lime. It’s lightly citrusy, smooth, and slightly sweet with a clean cola finish. The lime adds just enough brightness to make it feel fresh and balanced.

  • 2 oz white rum

  • 4–5 oz cola

  • ½ oz fresh lime juice (or 1 lime wedge squeezed)

  • Ice

INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

  • Fill a highball glass completely with ice.

  • Pour in the white rum.

  • Squeeze in lime juice (drop the wedge in if you want extra flavor).

  • Top with cola.

  • Gently stir to combine (don’t overmix or you’ll lose carbonation).

  • Garnish with a lime wedge.
