4
oz
(120 ml) cola
1/2
oz
(15 ml) fresh lime juice

Instructions
Gather your ingredients: All you need is rum, cola, fresh lime juice, and ice cubes. You can easily find these ingredients in most grocery stores.
Fill a glass with ice: Take a highball glass and fill it up with ice cubes. This will make your drink nice and cold.
Add the rum: Pour 1.5 ounces (or about a shot) of rum into the glass over the ice.
Squeeze in the lime juice: Take half a lime and squeeze the juice into the glass. This adds a fresh, tangy flavor to the drink.
Top with cola: Pour about 4 ounces (or enough to fill the glass) of cola into the glass over the rum and lime juice.
Give it a stir: Use a spoon or a stirrer to gently mix everything. You want all the flavors to blend nicely.
Garnish and serve: Add a lime wedge to the rim of the glass for a decorative touch. Then, serve your Cuba Libre and enjoy it responsibly!
