History
The Cuba Libre ("Free Cuba") was born around 1900 in Havana, shortly after the end of Spanish colonial rule and the arrival of Coca-Cola in Cuba. American soldiers and businessmen mixed their beloved rum with the new cola and toasted: "Por Cuba Libre!" – To a free Cuba! The drink became a symbol of Cuban independence and one of the world's most popular longdrinks.
