The Cuba Libre, made with Bacardí rum, Coca-Cola, and lime, is the perfect cocktail.

I’m not saying this because it’s my favorite cocktail (I’m fond of rye Manhattans), but because the Cuba Libre does a lot of things right. It’s a basic recipe that any bartender can produce, and pretty much anywhere in the world, you’ll find Bacardí, Coca-Cola, and limes. Besides that, the spicy and sweet combo of rum and cola is perfectly accented by the tartness of lime. Over ice, the acidity of the lime is a refreshing respite to hot and muggy days in parts of the world where air conditioning isn’t exactly prevalent.

Soon, it will be even easier to enjoy the classic rum cocktail with a Ready-to-Drink (RTD) version of Cuba Libre featuring Bacardí and Coca-Cola, which delivers a proper (kind of) Cuba Libre in a can.
