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)
