Cuba Libre, or Free Cuba, is steeped in history. A 2012 study by cocktail historians Anistatia Miller and Jared Brown tells a fascinating story. In addition to her research, Miller wants to remind us that there’s a fine “green” line between a Cuba Libre and a rum and coke. That line is lime. While it’s not traditionally part of a rum and coke, it’s an essential ingredient in a Cuba Libre\u2014both as a garnish and squeezed into the drink. <\/p>\n\n

The name Cuba Libre originated in the late 1800s as Cuba sought independence from Spain. At that time, Cuban freedom fighters sipped a drink called Cuba Libre, which back then was more likely a mixture of honey, molasses, and water along with alcohol in general. <\/p>\n\n

Cuba Libre, as we know it today, is one of the world’s most famous drinks and is served from Havana to Helsinki and from Hannover to Honolulu. Cuba Libre! <\/p>\n\n
