Cuba Libre | Cocktail Party

Cuba Libre

This drink gets a bad rap, and it’s understandable. When you order it in a typical bar, you’ll get a sickly-sweet rum and coke with a sad-looking wedge of lime on the side. The real one, though, is miles away. The difference is in the proportions; a real Cubra Libre needs one full part of lime juice to balance the sweetness of a mere 3 parts of cola.

Ingredients

Instructions

Build in the order given in an ice-filled glass. Twist a lime wedge into the drink hard enough to release essential oils, and plunk the wedge right on top of the drink, so your drinker can smell those oils while they sip.

Far superior to any other cocktail app

I have only been using the app for a short time but already I can tell that it is far superior to any other cocktail app I have used until now. The user interface is easy to use and visually appealing, and the search function displays recipes as you type which will make this app easy and fast to use. Highly recommended for use as a bartender or server, or at home making drinks for a party or night in. The developer also promises recipes added regularly and the customer support is second to none.
