INGREDIENTS FOR CUBA LIBRE

  • 50 ml light rum
  • 15 ml fresh squeezed lime juice or a squeezed wedge
  • Best coca cola
  • SEAL: Lime wedge
  • ICE: Cubes

TOOLS REQUIRED

  • GLASS: Tumbler alto
  • Barspoon
  • Jigger
  • Juicer

PREPARATION

For the preparation of the cuba libre start by taking the glass and filling it with ice by mixing it in order to cool the glass well. As you can see for yourself, some water will have formed which you will have to drain so as not to water down the drink.

Fill the glass with ice

Once the water has drained, pour all the ingredients using the measuring cup (jigger) to measure them if necessary. After pouring rum first, pour the squeezed lime juice and finally complete the glass by filling it with coca cola.

Pour in the clear rum and squeeze in a lime wedge

As an alternative to squeezed lime juice you can choose, to make preparation even easier, to directly squeeze a lime wedge inside the glass and let it fall inside. In this case the balance will be slightly different but the end result will still be fine.

complete with tail

Use a teaspoon to mix all the ingredients (barspoon) or a simple kitchen spoon can do just fine.

Finish the preparation by garnishing with a lime wedge and a straw if you like. The drink is ready, salute!
