This easy, refreshing drink is perfect served with lots of ice. Rum and coca cola with a lime wedge can sound a bit dull – calling it Cuba Libre is much more romantic! The dash of bitters is optional but adds a subtle complexity.
Ingredients
- 2 lime wedges
- 60ml rum
- 120ml cola
- Dash Angostura bitters (optional)
Method
- Fill a highball glass with ice, then squeeze in the juice from 1 of the lime wedges. Add the rum, mix briefly, then top up with cola. Add a dash of bitters (if using) then garnish with the remaining lime wedge.
