The Cuba Libre Cocktail Recipe
An interesting twist on the popular Rum-n-Coke recipe brings the booze further to the front and adds a few ingredients for depth.
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Cocktail Strainer
- Bar spoon
Ingredients
- 4 oz. Coca-Cola
- 1.5 oz. Light Rum (Brugal is nice)
- .5 oz. Spiced Rum (I used Twenty Boat)
- .5 oz. Fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp. Real Pomegranate Grenadine
- Dash Aromatic Bitters (Bittercube Jamaican #1)
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except cola in a cocktail shaker over ice and short-shake (ie: shake for less time than you would a normal cocktail, since you’ll be further-diluting).
- Strain into a chilled double rocks glass with a single large ice cube, and top with cola. Stir gently to combine. Garnish with a lime wedge.
