About the Rum and Coke
The Rum and Coke is a simple highball cocktail that combines white rum with cola and a hint of lime juice. This refreshing drink offers a sweet fizzy taste with a subtle citrus note from the lime, making it an easy-to-enjoy mixed drink that has become one of the world's most popular alcoholic beverages.
History
The Rum and Coke originated in Cuba in the early 1900s shortly after Coca-Cola was imported to the country. Also known as Cuba libre, it became popular following Cuba's independence from Spanish rule. The simple recipe and accessible ingredients contributed to its widespread popularity across Cuba, the United States, and eventually worldwide.
