bubble In Puerto Rico this drink is made with a glass full of ice, 3/4 puertorican white RUM and 1/4 Cola,..its great.... - guillo (864 days ago)
bubble Too much cola. Lower that, add more lime (I'm in the 1/3-1/2 of a lime camp) and you're good. And personally, I think its just fine with cheap light rum and RC cola. - pooba001 (961 days ago)

 Known in Miami as a mentirito (a "little lie"), because Cuba isn't free. - sylvar (1333 days ago)
bubble Usually, it's made with light rum and more like 1/2 oz. of lime juice. Otherwise, it just becomes a rum and Coke with a splash of lime. - gooru (1347 days ago)
bubble 97 days later I return and fix the spelling! - alphageek (1396 days ago)

 Hmm, the guy that made this drink can edit the title. Hopefully he sees this! - jacob (1403 days ago)

 Jacob/staff, can we fix the spelling on this one? If anything the other drink, cuba_libre, can be moved aside. Or can 2 drinks with the same name coexist peacefully? - zeb (1403 days ago)

 I ordered it one time and the bartender smirked at me and said, "Isn't that just a rum and Coke?" To which I replied, "With LIME!" Jerk. - dataset (1419 days ago)
