A simple highball comprised of rum (traditionally Cuban), cola and lime (as garnish, or squeezed into the drink, or both), the Cuba Libre has a past that stretches back more than a century, according to cocktail historians Anistatia Miller and Jared Brown, who detail the drink’s past in their 2012 book Cuban Cocktails. Miller says it’s important to remember that there’s a thin, green line that distinguishes a Cuba Libre from the more familiar Rum & Coke. “The Rum and Coke doesn’t specify the lime garnish (and frequently a squeeze of lime) that goes into a Cuba Libre,” she says.
