Cuba Libre
The main difference between a Cuba Libre and a Rum & Cola is BACARDÍ Gold Rum and lime. The second biggest difference is why it's enjoyed. Created in 1900, the Cuba Libre has always had a split identity; part cocktail and part rally cry, it's a drink with conviction and purpose meant to unite people, bring about change and, in the end, celebrate it all.
