The famous cocktail Cuba Libre is one of the most popular cocktails in the world. Its name translated into Bulgarian means Free Cuba. Contains white rum, Coca-Cola and lemon juice or pieces of lime. It was first prepared in Havana in 1900 during the War of Independence of Cuba (then a Spanish colony), which ended in 1878.
There are a number of stories about the origin of the cocktail, but the most popular among them is related to an American officer.
On a hot afternoon at a Havana bar, a group of American infantry celebrated their victory. An officer from the US military entered the bar and ordered a light rum mixed with the new and popular Coca-Cola on ice with a slice of lime on top. Raising his glass, he said aloud Por Cuba Libre! or in Bulgarian For the freedom of Cuba - the battle cry of the Cuban rebels.
This aroused the curiosity of the other Americans at the bar, and everyone wanted to try the drink. After several cocktail exams, the soldiers began to raise a toast to Por Cuba Libre!.
There is another version that the name of this cocktail appeared during the dry regime in the United States. This cocktail makes it very easy to disguise rum in Coca-Cola, offered in secret and semi-secret establishments (speakeasy) in the United States during the dry regime.
Nowadays, this easy-to-make cocktail is known almost all over the world and takes its rightful place among the most popular drinks.
