Let's drink! Cuba Libre

A lazy night, you just got back from the beach and are still enjoying the freshness in the air? then this is a drink for you! The Cuba libre is a mix of rum and coke, tasting very fresh with a sharp aftertaste. By changing the type of rum, you quickly change the allround taste of the drink.

Necessities

• Rum (decent one, think Bacardi, Havana Club)
• Cola (Coca-Cola or Pepsi Max, don't even think about ruining this with Pepsi Regular!)
• Ice-cubes (Take cubes, or like me, staves!)
• (optional) Lemon slices (about 4mm thick, mostly decoration)

Preparation

• Firstly, slice your lemon :)
• Secondly cool your glass, this can best be done by taking some ice cubes, putting them into your glass, add some water, and shake (helps to have a boston shaker :))
• Clear your glass from the water and the ice cubes (do not dry!)
• Add new ice-cubes (to your leasure)
• Add your rum (about 1/5th of the glass)
• Add your cola (for another (4/5th)
• finish off by adding your lemon juice (which you sliced) and of course your slice of lemon :)

Tips and tricks

• Don't use Bacardi black for this, use a good rum, to blend, like Bacardi Superior, Havana Club or my favourite, Bacardi Reserva.
• do NOT use Pepsi Regular (its just terrible)
• If you want to spice it up, be sure to try Captain Morgan's, or Bacardi Oakheart
• Certainly chill your glasses because the drink deserves to be drank chilled.
• Preferred glasses are longdrinks, or mojito glasses
• Drink responsibly!
