The Cuba Libre cocktail is not only one of the most popular cocktails, but also one of the most requested in the world. Tasty, refreshing, and for any one of the best drinks of all time!

What is the origin of Cuba Libre?

As its name suggests, the Cuba Libre was a kind of rallying cry during the Spanish-American War, in which Cuba gained its independence from Spain. That said, this drink arose around 1900, when Colonel Teddy Roosevelt, as well as the Rough Riders, arrived in large groups on the island. The soldiers are said to have carried a supply of coca-cola that has become popular with all Cubans.

Thus, already in a vat, Russell would have asked for a dose of rum mixed with the soda, thus creating the vat libre.

Keeping the essence as well as the sweetness of this drink, at Viriathus Drinks we like to create new formulas to elevate your favorite cocktails. In this sense, today we leave you with the recipe adapted from the famous “Cuba Libre”.
