Cuba Libre
The Cuba Libre originated in Havana around 1900 and is a fitting drink for toasting our upcoming trip. A blend of quintessentially American Coca-Cola and rum, This drink was born as American soldiers mixed in Cuba around the Spanish-American war. According to Bacardi’s history: “The drink united crowds in a spirit of fun and good fellowship. When they ordered another round, one soldier suggested that they toast ¡Por Cuba Libre! in celebration of the newly freed Cuba.” Cheers!
