Cuba Libre Recipe
The Cuba Libre is often misunderstood as a simple two-ingredient pour, but its soul lies in the citrus balance. By incorporating the performance-driven intensity of Frutiva Lime Juice, you replace the inconsistency of hand-squeezed fruit with a stable, craft-quality acid backbone. This build ensures that every "light ice" pour maintains its carbonation and deep flavor profile, providing a professional-grade experience that stays crisp and refreshing from the first sip to the last.

How to Make This Cocktail
Step 1
Chill a tall highball or Collins glass.
Step 2
Fill the glass with a "light ice" build—just enough to keep the drink cold without over-diluting the cola carbonation.
Step 3
Pour the Rum and Frutiva Lime Juice directly over the ice. The non-diluted acidity of the Frutiva Lime Juice is essential to cut through the sweetness of the cola and the richness of the rum.
Step 4
Top with chilled cola, pouring slowly down the side of the glass to preserve the bubbles.
Step 5
Stir gently once from the bottom with a bar spoon to integrate the citrus and spirit.
Step 6
Squeeze a lime wedge over the surface and drop it into the glass, then garnish with a fresh lime wheel on the rim.
Step 7
Serve immediately.
