Empfehlung Cuba Libre/Rum Cola

I would give this an 7.8/10 pretty good.

I’m not sure if it’s been mentioned yet, but replace roughly 20-30% of the cola with sparkling mineral water. It takes out a fair amount of the sweetness (the drink doesn’t stick to your palate as much) without diluting the taste. Can only recommend it.

I’m hearing that for the first time! But it could actually help with rums that aren’t so dry :thinking:. I’ll keep that in mind, thanks for the idea!

Hopefully @zabo doesn’t read this post.

Putting a Savanna RumX in cola is already questionable, and now water too?:face_with_bags_under_eyes:

Cuba Libre spritzer then?:smiley: Sorry but that doesn’t work for me anymore. As far as I’m concerned, a sugar-reduced cola or zero would still be fine, but no sparkling water. At least I wouldn’t call it that anymore. But to each their own.:smiley::saluting_face:

Nah nah, with reduced sugar or even ~free, I’m missing that full-bodied taste. Also not replacing regular Cola completely, just part of it. But I get it if you don’t like it. Maybe just keep it in the back of your mind in case the 7th tastes a bit too sweet. :wink:

Before I ruin my Cuba Libre with Zero, I’d rather try the “diluted Coca Cola” thing :sweat_smile:

Edit: A colleague (now retired) bought a Cola from the canteen, then mixed a longdrink glass (~0.4l) with 2/3 water and 1/3 Cola … I was absolutely gobsmacked when I saw that. But to each their own.

Sometimes a simple Brugal Anejo with a real Coca-Cola is just enough. A strong Cuba Libre!

There’s no need for experiments.

It was actually always my favorite rum for Cuba libres. Price-performance ratio is really top-notch for a rum like that. :raising_hands:t3:

Still mine. PLV unbeatable!

Alternatively: Cacique, Havana 7, …Barcelo anejo also a bit behind

All PLV grenades…
